Subject: Post 1901 Census - Candidates position re Census
Date: Thu, 27 May 2004 11:32:25 -0700

Greetings All.

In the next little while I will be paying visits to the offices of
Canada's Federal Election hopefuls in my area. The purpose of these
visits will be to find out what their positions are in regards to public
access to 92-year-old Census records as per the Access to Information
and Privacy Acts.

I encourage everyone to do the same and I invite you to post the results
of those visits on the Canada-Census-Campaign mail list, or directly to
myself for redirection to the CCC list. Your response should include
the following information:

Name of Province and Federal riding
Name of Candidate
Political Party of Candidate
Position regarding public access of 92-year-old Historic Census records,
i.e. whether supportive or otherwise.

Please restrict your responses to the issues relating to Census records.

PLEASE DO NOT POST THESE RESULTS OR RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE ON ANY MAIL
LISTS OTHER THAN THE CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN MAIL LIST. Administrators
of mail lists to which our Post-1901 Census posts are sent have been
gracious enough to allow them to be posted. We are very appreciative of
this and do not wish to jeopardize their hospitality with an influx of
what may be considered as off-topic messages or responses.

To subscribe to the Canada-Census-Campaign mail list send a message to:



with only the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject line and body of the
message.

Thank you all for your support.

Happy Hunting.

Gordon A. Watts
Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee
