Community Survey

To collect your specific thoughts and ideas, we ask that you take approximately 10 minutes of your time to complete the community survey below.

Please note, all survey responses will be kept confidential and anonymous. Responses will be collated by City Economic Development staff, and a summary report will be produced by McSweeney & Associates.

The survey will be available until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, July 27.

At the end of the survey, you’ll find voluntary and confidential demographic questions. The information collected will help us understand who is participating in the process, whether we’re reaching a broad range of community members and how we can improve participation and remove barriers.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to provide your feedback.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Lori Talling at ltalling@peterborough.ca.
