NOTL COVID-19 Survey

Absolutely everyone, everywhere has been touched in some way by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It has turned our world upside down, changed how we live and interact, and might have forever altered how society functions.

The Lake Report wants to know how everyone in Niagara-on-the-Lake is coping at this unprecedented time and we’ve designed a brief survey so that you can give us your thoughts and opinions. 

We encourage each individual in your NOTL household to fill out the very short questionnaire we’ve designed. As an incentive, everyone completing the questionnaire will be eligible for a draw for dinner for two at a NOTL restaurant – once life resumes in the post-COVID era.
