Subject: [DUFFERIN-L] Post 1901 Census -- Finding your MP
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 18:35:28 -0500


Greetings All.

In seeking to contact your MP to advise of our concerns re: regaining
public access to Historic Census records the following URLs may be
useful. Using these URLs, doing a search on your postal code will bring
up a page for your Member of Parliament, including Parliamentary and
Constituency addresses, complete with telephone and fax numbers, and
occasionally additional email addresses. In most cases it includes a
picture of your MP.

http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/about/people/House/PostalCode.asp?lang=E

en francais
http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/about/people/House/PostalCode.asp?lang=F

Simply click on one of these URLs. If they wrap to a second line, use
copy and paste to insert it in the 'Address' window of your browser.

Remember -- what we seek is the SAME, UNRESTRICTED access, 92 years
after collection, to Census records after 1906 that we currently have
for 240 years of records up to that time. We do not seek to GAIN
something that has never been available -- we seek to REGAIN something
that has been improperly (and believed illegally) taken away from us by
the Chief Statistician of Canada.

Parliament is in recess this week. Chances are good that you can catch
your MP in his/her constituency office. Give it a try. Let me know of
their support or otherwise -- particularly if it differs from the
position shown on the Scoreboard of the Post 1901 Census Project
website.

Happy Hunting.

Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee
Port Coquitlam, BC
