Georgina Island First Nation Community Energy Survey - 2017/2018

Welcome to the Georgina Island First Nation Community Energy Survey

Georgina Island First Nation is conducting a survey to assist with an update of our existing Community Energy Plan.

This survey is to be completed by one person, per residential dwelling for properties located within the Georgina Island First Nation.  If you have two properties, for instance a home and a cabin, please fill out one survey for each of the dwellings.  If you complete more than one survey, please ensure that both properties are located within the community.

Commercial and First Nation owned properties will be assessed in a different manner than this survey.  If you are a private business owner with particular energy issues, please contact Becky Big Canoe, who is the Community Energy Advisor for Georgina Island First Nation.

We appreciate your time and look forward to presenting the results to the community in 2018.
