    1. Post 1901 Census -- NEW petitions in both official languages
    2. Gordon A. Watts
    3. Greetings All. Thanks to the translation skills of Gilbert Provost -- who translated our NEW petitions, and Lise Drapeau -- who did some other translation for me, we now have our NEW petitions online in both official languages. Tonight the French language petitions were added to the Post 1901 Census Project website, at the URL following my signature. The English language petitions have been modified slightly. The wording has not changed but a smaller type font was used to permit a greater number of signature lines to be included on the pages. There are petitions to the House of Commons and to the Senate for residents of Canada to sign, and a Non-Resident petition for those living outside of Canada to show support for our goal of regaining public access to ALL Historic Census Record of Canada, 92 years after collection. All petitions are now available in both French and English languages. We ask that concerned individuals, Family History Societies, and Historians -- anyone wanting to regain public access to Canada's Historic Census Records, to download and circulate these petitions. Ask any genealogical or historical organization you belong to to ensure that their membership is aware of the Census issue and our NEW petitions. Ask them to include copies of petitions with their newsletters. Thank you for your support. With your help we will achieve our goal. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
