Shuniah Recreation, Facility and Trails Master Plan

Community Feedback Survey

The Recreation, Facilities and Trails Master Plan will be examining existing amenities, identifying improvements and creating a long term recreation plan for the area. This survey is one way community members can provide their thoughts and feedback. The feedback received will help set priorities and guide recommendation of the study.

The survey is divided into three parts and will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

Part 1 : Helps us to understand who is responding to the questionnaire and where they are from.

Part 2: Sets priorities for the overall approach and focus of the Recreation Master Plan.

Part 3: Asks respondents to identify the existing recreation amenities they use today and what other opportunities should be considered for the master plan.

Remember to also visit the Community Feedback Map located on the main project website at www.shuniah.org/recmasterplan/ to help us identify the community's most valued recreational features.
