The Census of Canada
will be held Tuesday, 16 May 2006. There will be a question asked
for all persons who usually live here including those less than 15 years
old.
"Does this person agree to make his/her 2006 Census information
available for public release in 2098 (92 years after the census)?
_ Yes _ No"
The Statistics Act guarantees the confidentiality of your census
information. On Census Day, 16 May 2006, make sure you answer yes to allow
your information to be made available to your descendants in 2098. Make
sure everyone you know does as well.
Only if you mark yes to this question will your information be made public, 92
years after the 2006 Census. If you mark no or leave the
answer blank, your information will never be made publicly
available.
If significant numbers of respondents respond negatively, or do not
respond to this question at all, it will destroy the completeness of the
records, and thus their value to genealogical or historical researchers
will be forever destroyed.
Please help by saying yes and please pass this information on to all
Canadians.
