WATERLOO REGION — Canada Post has lost two rolls of microfilm
containing the personal information of more than 2,200 Waterloo Region
residents who left or graduated from high school six years ago.

The microfilms were being sent from a firm in Winnipeg to the Waterloo
Region District School Board for storage. They never arrived at the
school board and are now classified as lost.

The films contain the names, birth dates, parents’ names, grades, and
sometimes also the photos and birth documents of 2,279 students, said
Linda Fabi, the board’s director of education.
