Introduction

If you are completing this survey on paper, please mail your completed survey to:
Oakwood Park Association, Inc.
PO Box 352
Grand Bend, ON     N0M 1T0

The purpose of survey is to assist in assessing environmental conditions in the park, specifically with respect to the management of sewage by its property owners. 

By taking the initiative of collecting this information, OPA members will demonstrate environmental stewardship and a desire to continue to  manage the topic of sewage in the park, collectively as an organization, rather than to have the municipality do so.  

This initiative is consistent with the requirements of OPAi By-law # 1, point #3:
"The OPA shall be operated by the Board as a non-profit organization, for the health and well being of all Oakwood Park property owners, for the regulation and enforcement of adequate sanitary conditions, for the operation of recreational facilities and promoting activities for the securing of the OPA area, and for the safeguarding of rights, interests, privileges and quiet enjoyment & those property owners who are now, or may hereafter become members of the OPA."

This survey will accept responses until December 31, 2016.  However, we would encourage completion at your earliest convenience - so you avoid our pesky reminders!

For more information regarding maintaining a healthy private septic system, please refer to the Province of Ontario's Guidelines at:

Survey Details:

No information specific to an individual address will be shared beyond the OPAi Board of Directors and OPEC (Oakwood Park Environmental Committee).

You can pause the survey at any time and resume completion whenever you like, prior to the completion date of December 31, 2016.

Only one survey completion for each Oakwood Park address will be accepted.

An OPAi representative may be in touch with you regarding your specific responses if It appears follow up is warranted.
