1911 Canadian Census may be available to genealogists soon
Bill S-18 providing access to the 1911 Canadian Census passed the House of Commons today
At 8:00 AM PDT Tuesday June 28th MP Dominic LeBlanc, Deputy Government Whip, rose and stated words to the effect that "If the Speaker would seek it, I believe he would have the unanimous consent of the House to deem Bill S-18 -- An Act to amend the Statistics Act, to have passed Third Reading". That consent was given.
Bill S-18 has now passed all necessary stages in both the Senate and the House of Commons and all that remains to be done to make it law is for it to receive Royal Assent. It is expected that assent will be received shortly.
It is believed that the Library and Archives of Canada has already scanned images of the 1911 National Census of Canada and they should be available online almost immediately.
