Statistics Canada, the agency charged with the responsibility of collecting the Census of Canada every five years, has taken the position that no public access will be allowed to individual Census records taken after 1901. That's right, none. Ever. They plan to permanently lock up or perhaps even destroy Canadian census records without giving access to genealogists, historians or other concerned individuals. > > The Global Gazette and many genealogy groups in Canada are asking genealogists around the world to exert pressure on the Canadian government to > reconsider their position. You can write to the Members of Parliament and Members of the Senate. Sample letters, along with names and addresses of the recipients, are available online. In addition, there are petitions available online that can be distributed at your genealogy society for signature. > > For more information about this problem and to find the sample letters, the petitions, and the list of addresses, look at: > http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/.
