Subject: [ONTARIO] Canadian Postal Codes Really Work!!!!
To all, especially Non-Canadians with roots in Canada:
Many have downloaded the Non-Canadian Petition to use in helping
us obtain transfer of post-1901 census records to National Archives.
When Gordon Watts left out the name of my city (BRAMPTON) I wondered
how the postmaster would find me. I should not have worried -- to date
I have received both petitions and letters MINUS the name of the city.
My postal code is L6W 2R8 -- the "L6" designates the city, town or
village in
Ontario. The "W" is my section of the city. Add the street address,
which is
25 Crestview Avenue -- the mail has arrived safely, without the name of
the city. Frankly, I could not believe the first one that arrived!!!!
E-mails are still being accepted for Senator Lorna Milne, also letters.
Information may be found at two sites:

I will never doubt the Canadian postal system again - for delivery of
mail!
