To all:- Three new Canadian census petitions were posted last week, but only in English language. Thanks to the translation by one of our Canada Census Committee members, the French language version will possibly be posted by Monday. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census et http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index-f.htm Regardless of which language -- Canadians may sign BOTH the Senate and House of Commons petitions at the same time. Here is an example: In the past, Senator Lorna Milne presented the petition in the Senate at the same time a "mirror" petition was presented in the House of Commons by Murray Calder, M.P. [The recent S-13 was a government bill, with beginning in the Senate] Start thinking of places where petitions may be places -- libraries, LDS centres, historical and genealogical societies. Attach YOUR name and make certain the petition is picked up when YOU state. A contact phone number would also be appreciated. While at Sunnybrook Veteran's Wing today I was requested for at least 12 sets of petitions [ONE Page 1, THREE Page 2]. Their reason is that many who died for Canada in World War One will be listed on the 1911 Canadian census. Addresses where to post the petitions are given -- do not worry should anyone make a mistake -- Gordon and I are very good at exchanging petitions -- we have had practice! Let us not forget Letters to the Editor -- these reach the non-computer people and there are many. Add a note to all completed petitions letting us know the name of the signature collector, and especially if a history and genealogical society. I also like e-mail address so may contact the person should any information not be given. WHO will turn in the first 100 signatures????? Muriel M.
