Greetings All.

Further to my posting earlier today, I received the following message
from Ms. Fagan regarding the Ontario Today radio program. For those
wishing to later comment regarding her item, the telephone number for
the 'TalkBack line" is

1-888-591-4111

As was the case for the "Phone-In line" I assume this number will be
working only for those calling from within Ontario. Those wishing to
comment by email may use the form linked on their 'Contact Us' webpage
located at

My thanks to Ms. Fagan for the further information.

Gordon,

Yes indeed my item will run tomorrow but it is a stand alone story and
not a phone-in during our second hour.

My story will be on sometime between noon and 1.p.m. eastern.

We do encourage talk-back after an item is aired and I invite anyone who
listens to call with thoughts and opinions.

Our program is provincial - heard all over Ontario.

Thanks again for your help.

Laurie Fagan

Greetings All.

A short time ago I was contacted by Laurie Fagan, a reporter for the CBC
'Ontario Today' radio program. She was interested in interviewing
someone in regards to Bill S-18. As she wanted to interview someone in
the Ottawa area I suggested a number of people for her to consider.

I have just received a message from John D. Reid (British Isles Family
History Society of Greater Ottawa) stating that he had been interviewed
by Ms. Fagan this morning. He explained why the 1911 Census records
would be useful for his research of his great-uncle, and that
information in CEF attestation papers, freely available online, is far
more personal than anything in Census.

John stated that Ms. Fagan indicated that her item, including interview
material from himself, Chad Gaffield (panel member of the Expert Panel
on Access to Historical Census Records), and Senator Gerald Comeau (not
one of those recommended by me), was scheduled for broadcast tomorrow
(Thursday, 5 May), at Noon Ontario time.

'Ontario Today' is broadcast in Ottawa on FM 91.5, and I assume a number
of other CBC stations in Ontario. It is accessible on the Internet from
their website at

http://www.cbc.ca/ontariotoday/

There is a link there for their audio feed. Click on 'Listen Live'

'Ontario Today' is a news and phone-in program running from Noon to 2:00
PM Ontario time. During the second hour they take calls from listeners.
Numbers to call in are as follows:

Phone-In line
1 to 2 p.m. ET
Ottawa: 288.6493
throughout Ontario: 1.888.817.8995

Because the toll free number is labeled 'throughout Ontario' I assume
that it will not be available to anyone calling from outside of Ontario.

Happy Hunting.
