Good morning,

The Grey Bruce Community Drug and Alcohol Strategy is looking for examples of survey questions/tools used to collect feedback from community members (i.e., partner agencies, the public, people with lived experience) on local priorities for drug strategies to focus on. Please share any survey tools you have used in the past and/or any lessons learned about the process here or email me at k.mighton@publichealthgreybruce.on.ca.

Thank you,

Kelsey
