To all:- To date, we have yet to receive any copies of postings to Quebec Members of Parliament, or any census petitions with needed signatures. Check the scoreboard for those who have yet to reply re census release: http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score4.htm#PQ Census petitions are in both French and English languages, downloadable and if one does not have Adobe Acrobat, that is also downloadable and FREE http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/ The Province of Quebec has the most committee members on the Canada Census Committee http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/committee.html Let's go to work!!! [I also keep activity percentages per province] Believe it or not, when the 1911 census is released, it will include the Canadian province of Quebec. Let's try and gather as many as possible before September 15th, 2004 -- the release date was June 1, 2003. 25 signatures were received from Victoria, BC -- Senate [The sender must be a golfer -- a beautiful stamp] 18 signatures for the Senate from Cornwall, ON 1 signature from SOUTH AFRICA with note as follows:- Stewart Green 17 Jesmond Road Pietermaritzburg 3201 SOUTH AFRICA Dear Muriel:- Re: Non-Resident Petition of Support to the Senate of Canada Attached please find my petition for public access to Canada's historic census records. I am signing this petition because my grandfather lived in British Columbia in the 1910's and 1920's and access to post-1901 census data will assist me greatly in researching my family history. I would like to thank the post-1901 census project for the work they have done and wish you all the best in your endeavour. Yours sincerely, Stewart C. Green ===== My personal comment:- ALL Provinces and residents should be gathering signatures -- but it is heartwarming when one receives a petition from South Africa. Muriel M.
