Greeting All. In the past 24 or so hours there have been about 40 new members subbed to the CCC list. I wish to welcome back some who had been with us before, and to extend a special welcome to those who are new to the CCC list. There are always listers coming and going for various reasons and the current membership is 535 listers. For those new to the list I will advise that there are basically only two rules -- No Flames, and no personal lookups or queries. Other than that, as list administrator I am fairly flexible regarding what is posted. I would remind you, however, that the main purpose of the CCC list is to provide a forum to discuss the withholding of Historic Census records from public access. Recent discussions have been focussed on what might be done to bring the current situation regarding Bill S-13 to the attention of the public, the media, and our parliamentarians. A number of suggestions have been made including: * Picketing or demonstrating in front of the Parliament Buildings to publicize the need to remove conditions and restrictions contained in Bill S-13 that are neither necessary or desireable. * Seeking the support of our city and municipal governments to encourage the establishment of a 'Discover your past month' or something similar. * Having a 'hands across the border' demonstration at the Niagra Falls bridge with appropriate signage to bring our concerns to the public. These are a few suggestion but I am sure that there are many other things that might be done. I encourage all listers, in particular the new ones, to participate in the discussion. Post your messages to let us know your thoughts, and what you are willing to do to implement them. Happy Hunting. Gordon
