UPRIVER Kent County Survey - Sept. 2010

3 Question Survey Regarding Focus of Regional Development Activities

THE BACKGROUND
From January to May 2010, six community meetings were held throughout UPRIVER Kent County to hear from residents their ideas and hopes for our community.  Many ideas were shared and we want to clarify on what was heard to move forward on Phase II of our community development work – applying for a grant to get the resources we need to continue.

THE SURVEY
If our community was given dollars to begin a long term project that would see the development of new jobs and bring resources into our community over the next 3 to 5 years …what could that project look like…???

Focus of Grant
To highlight our local knowledge, history, natural surroundings and culture so that we may produce and market our Upriver goods and services for the benefit of the Upriver community and surrounding region.

Let Us Know Your Opinion Here - It Matters!

The results of this survey will be shared on www.upriver-news.ca as well as in the Upriver Newsletter.

We will be checking back with the community regularly to share where this process is at and offer opportunities to get involved in areas such as:

• Expertise on a particular area in our community
• Expertise on recreational activities
• Expertise on historic content
• Your stories/your families stories from living in our community
• Expertise on our surrounding environment – farming, fishing, tourism
• Cultural connections and unique qualities

Each Upriver resident who completes this survey will have their name entered for a prize draw for great local and regional goodies!  Please complete the survey only once, because every participant's opinion should carry the same weight.

You will receive for your records a copy of your answers per e-mail.

If for any reason you do not want to complete this survey online, you can download a survey form as .pdf file here and drop it off at Thompson’s General Store in Bass River or at Harry’s Variety in Harcourt into the newsletter drop box.

The individual responses will not be published nor will your e-mail adress or any other personal information you provide be published in any form.

If you would like to post a question to Upriver residents that is of general interest, you may use this tool to solicit the responses.  Please contact us by e-mail.
