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. / k+ \2 \0 D0 _1 @: J1 F Prospective juror names are randomly selected from the Alberta Registries database within the Province of Alberta.

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. $ F, L. A! \! O5 b2 N7 CGood luck!
