I remember when this was briefly available on pilot.familysearch.org a few years ago. I searched it diligently, day after day. Then suddenly it disappeared. In its place was a notice saying that due to contractual obligations this census was not currently available.
Guess what! This past week I saw a FamilySearch knowledge document saying that after 19 December 2011 this census would be available on FamilySearch.org. So on December 19th or sometime soon after, we will have access to this census again.

Free Getting Started Videos
While looking at videos on the FamilySearch YouTube channel, I found four short Getting Started videos, sort of like the 5-Minute Genealogy series but slightly more basic. I think I will use them to introduce some of my up-coming lessons at the FHC.

1871 Census of Canada is now Free
Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter had big news today (link to article http://goo.gl/VkCT7)
1871 Canadian Census now Available Online
Library and Archives Canada has placed the 1871 census online. 1871 marked the first regularly scheduled collection of national statistics. The information covers the four provinces that were part of the Dominion of Canada in 1871: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec.
The online database provides digitized images of original census returns featuring the name, age, country or province of birth, nationality, religion, and occupation of Canada's residents at the time. The database is searchable by nominal information such as Name, Given Name (s) and Age, and/or geographical information such as Province, District Name, District Number, and Sub-district Number.
The 1871 Canadian Census is available free of charge at: www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1871/index-e.html
You can learn more about the 1871 census at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1871/001101-2000-e.html
[Until now this census was only fully available through Ancestry.com/AncestryInstitution.com/Ancestry.ca by subscription and at Family History Centers and some public libraries. EOGN article is quoted by permission.]
