Around 5pm eastern time and its very slow for me. I have managed to reach the search screen but I get an error before I can actually see a census return.
Im not sure if "Error Loading Image" means that the census page is not uploaded yet or if its due to the site speed.
If your interested in visiting it today Id recommend doing at a time where you feel very patient!

I'm going to wait until it's completely indexed and digitized and available on Ancestry or Family Search.

Me too,as I've no idea where half of my lot lived.

It's definitely there now, but slow as proverbial molasses...I gave up for right now. We're all too eager!!

It's browse only right now, so you need to know where the people you're looking for lived.

The census is apparently being released today to the public and I expect Ancestry in its digitized form. It is my understanding that Ancestry will now index it and the public can browse it. I’m guessing one would need to know where folks were living to have much chance of finding them at the moment.

Added: don’t see it on the LAC website yet.

Gave up after I got to Vancouver because after that I am lost. May have to wait until there is an index.
I will join the already growing queue.

Do you have an address? If so, let me know ... I might be able to help narrow down a browsing area...

All I have is Vancouver B.C. Canada. John Flecther died in 1966 at Shaughnessy Hospital, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, and was buried at  White Rock. His wife Maggie died in 1967 at Peace Arch District Hospital, White Rock, B.C., Canada, and was buried at Victory Memorial Park, Surrey, B.C., Canada. They married in Vancouver.
A big guess is they lived in the area.
Any help is much appreciated
