有人知道是咋回事吗?
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.9 U8 i6 G8 l+ ]1 O1 ^7 c4 y6 Q7 p4 l
Prospective juror names are randomly selected from the Alberta Registries database within the Province of Alberta. 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. 2 |2 ]9 g5 G& L* \' B5 q; [

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.

Good luck!
