If you have a few minutes during this hectic season (as if it isn’t the rest of the year!) please fill in this survey to provide input to the Region’s priorities for the next 4 years.

Public input will be gathered throughout the strategic planning process and will be presented to Council in order to inform their priority setting process. In order to ensure that the Region's Strategic Plan reflects the most pressing priorities of our community we are seeking the community's input. Below you will find a link to an online survey. This online survey is one of the ways the Region will be obtaining input. We will also be conducting a telephone survey, meeting with special interest groups and hosting focus groups in the community. We invite you to take this online survey and also forward it to other people you think would be interested in participating. We also have the survey available in paper version if you need that format. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>This on-line survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Your answers will be anonymous as no identifying information is collected. You can skip any question you do not wish to answer.
