Accessibility: All Ages and Abilities

The Village on Main Community Improvement District (CID) is a non-profit organization that envisions an inclusive and sustainable community in the Main Street-Tacoma area of Dartmouth.

We are seeking to determine community accessibility levels within the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) so that we can better meet the needs of our community members and customer base as we move forward with our Age Friendly Community Plan.

This survey will not ask you for any identifying information, so all responses will remain completely anonymous. Please feel free to contact us at (902) 407-3533 or welcome@villageonmain.ca with any questions or comments. Watch our transformation at www.villageonmain.ca
