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. 5 ], S' [4 F- [6 T

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.
