It is Jury Duty. For many generations, trial by jury has been a cornerstone of our criminal justice system. Through participation in the jury system, the people of a community play a direct role in the administration of justice.

On occasion a name may be selected of a citizen who has either moved or is deceased, usually when a change in personal information has not been updated with Alberta Registries. An online questionnaire is available to determine your eligibility for jury duty.

Don't worry. If you have a valid reason, you don't have to go. I had this letter before. I didn't go because I was working and studying full time. I just wrote the reason and attached my tuition fee payment receipt, then mail the letter back. They will mail you a letter to inform their final decision.' d. D4 K. q3 C; b2 x
Good luck!
