Each Province is responsible for their own Vital Statistics. Some Provinces have recently put some indexes online - those that are considered Public Record. This is different for each Province. British Columbia - allows access to the Public Record Information - found at the Provincial Archive of B.C. Vital Events Index. ANYONE - can view the filmed registrations at no cost. At the Archive or some Public or University Libraries. Transcriptions can be made of the information found. Photo copies can be made - for the cost of copy machine charges..50 cents Cndn or less. Provincial Archive will also give you the same information at the cost of $19 There are Volunteers at: Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - British Columbia http://www.raogk.org/bcolumbia.htm Anyone who offers Lookup of Public Record - can transcribe or copy information found. Some will offer search for Obituary. Others Cemetery Photo's. Filmed Registration may show - depending on the requirements at the time - and the knowledge held by the informant.
