Subject: [DUFFERIN-L] Fw: Post 1901 Census -- Town Hall Meetings
Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2001 01:59:17 -0500


Greetings All.

I have received a list of times and dates of most of the Town Hall
Meetings for expressing opinions regarding public access to Post 1901
Census records. (Their ad mentions only the 1906 and 1911 Census')
There appears to be fewer meetings than expected, and if I learn of
others I will post that information as soon as I get it. I copy the
list of meetings below.

It appears that anyone wishing to speak on the subject will be given a
15 minute time slot in which to do so. As sessions are slated to last
two hours, this means that a maximum of 8 speakers will have the
opportunity to speak in each session -- 16 speakers maximum in each
location. Practically speaking, with administration overhead time
required for each session the numbers of speakers may be reduced if they
stick strictly to the two hour time period for each session.

Presenters, in either English or French, will be chosen on a first come,
first serve basis. Regardless of what location you will attend, if you
wish to speak to the issue, contact Environics NOW -- TODAY to inform
them of your desire to speak. If you wait you will be unlikely to
obtain a spot to speak. Contact them by telephone at 613-230-5089 or by
email at



I have already sent my request to be a speaker at the Vancouver meeting.
I am advised that for those not wishing to speak, but who wish to attend
the meetings, there will be room for spectators. We hope that there
will be a good attendance at all of these meeting to show that we are
interested in what happens at them. I would appreciate being informed
by those who are accepted as speakers as to where and when they will be
speaking.

So that the greatest possible number of people can be made aware of
these meetings, please circulate this message to others, and forward it
to other mail lists. Happy Hunting.
