To Gwen and Many Others:- The Canada Census Committee members are all volunteers -- several of us "head" up the committee, but we are all important in our own ways. Anyone who desires to write, email, fax or whatever, memos which will pry our 1911 census records away from Dr. Fellegi and in the care of Ian Wilson, National Archivist, is very welcome to do so. The provincial committee members need assistance from the ones who are subscribed to the Canada-Census-Campaign mail list. Suggestion: When writing to Dr. Ivan P, Fellegi, copy in Gordon and myself PLUS your Member of Parliament or Senator!! At present, there is one MP spoiling the 100% YES record for Nova Scotia -- Looking forward to your letters Muriel ----- Original Message ----- > > :Hi Martin: I need to see it badly as well.
