General Notes

Note

Notes: From the estate of Miss Eva Mathilda Crotty, Almonte Ontario. --- A Canadian government response to the outbreak of war in 1939 was the National Resources Mobilization Act, passed 21 June 1940. One provision of this Act immediately affected almost every Canadian. The National Registration Regulation attached to the Act provided for the establishment of a Registration process - supervised by a Chief Registrar for Canada. The purpose of the registration process was to identify people and resources that could be placed at the disposal of His Majesty King George VI for the duration of the war. No national population census was taken in the spring of 1941, as would normally have been the case, because of the war effort and the existence of this registration process. The Chief Registrar appointed Chief Assistants in each electoral district in the Country. The Chief Assistants were in turn responsible for engaging Deputy Registrars to carry out the registration process within each electoral district. Interview rooms in public buildings were utilized wherever possible, with the thought that each person being interviewed would feel comfortable providing the information required. A standard, single sheet form was used to gather information. August, 1940, was established as the period during which the initial registration process would be completed. Every person in Canada* who had reached the age of 16 years, British subjects and aliens alike, males and females, was required to register. Announcements about the requirement were posted in Post Offices across the country, and registration sites were open from 8:00am until 10:00pm each day. Every person who was outside of Canada when the initial registration was completed in August, 1940, was required to register within 30 days of returning to Canada. Similarly, those who reached their 16th birthday after August, 1940, but before 1946, were required to register within 30 days of their birthday. from www.family-historian.com Status: OK Status By: Whit, Elizabeth Status Date: 2016-08-07
