LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Treating census workers with respect

Dear Nanaimo residents,
Please be kind to census workers, they are doing their jobs trying to prevent you from being fined for not completing your census questionnaire.
It is a legal obligation and your civic duty to complete one. When we knock on your door or call you, we are not selling anything, we are not there to pry into your affairs nor are we collecting information for our own nefarious purposes. We are working, just as you do, and imagine if you had to endure having doors slammed in you
