Greetings All.

The following message is, for the most part, self-explanatory. A brief
cruise through the information it directs us to would make it appear
that genealogy and family history has been overlooked as part of our
'heritage'. The electronic survey may give us the opportunity to make
the bureaucrats aware that we feel genealogy and family history to be a
very important part of our 'heritage'.

I for one intend to study the information to which this posting refers
and to complete the survey. I intend to make full use of the 'Comments'
section to reiterate that Heritage Minister Sheila Copps has publicly
voiced her support for public access to Historic Census records. I will
also make the point that we feel that Ms. Copps and her Ministry should
make every effort to further efforts to achieve that goal.

I encourage all to take full advantage of this opportunity. Happy
Hunting.

Subject: [NB-L] Dept. of Canadian Heritage consultation


This public consultation on heritage policy by the Department of
Canadian Heritage was posted on the archival mailing list. The
genealogical community should also take advantage of this opportunity to
tell the federal government what it would like to see done in the
future. Pass this to other genealogical lists if you like.

Welcome to the electronic consultation on heritage.

As part of a "Dialogue with Canadians", the Department of Canadian
Heritage is consulting with Canadians and heritage communities. This
"dialogue" aims at contributing, on a long term basis, to the
development of new directions for federal heritage policy in Canada. The
main goal of the electronic consultation is to allow for the largest
number of citizens and interested organisations to submit their
comments.

How to participate in the e-consultation?
It is suggested that you read the document Canadians and their Heritage:
Some Trends, Issues and Ideas before responding to the questions. You
are also invited to submit comments on any other aspect of heritage that
is of interest to you. Your contribution will enrich the ongoing
dialogue. The e-consultation will end on November 30, 2001.

There are two sections to this questionaire: the first is for your
identification, and the second is for your answers or comments to the
questions.

If you have questions or if you wish to obtain additional information
regarding the consultation, you can communicate with:

Tel: 819-997-8112 or Tel: 819-997-7706
Fax: 819-997-8533

follow. A culture lives and is enlivened by those who experience it as
well as by those whose lives help shape it."
