Musquodoboit Harbour Transportation Infrastructure Community Engagement Survey
Musquodoboit Chamber of Commerce and Dalhousie University College of Sustainability
We would like to begin by acknowledging that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. Our group is working specifically in Eskikewa’kik, now known to some as Musquodoboit Harbour.
Description of Study: We’re inviting you to take part in a research collaboration between the Musquodoboit Chamber of Commerce and Dalhousie University. This study is facilitated by four fourth-year students from the College of Sustainability.
The purpose of this research is to understand the diverse perspectives and needs of Musquodoboit Harbour community members with regards to active transportation infrastructure.
Lead Researchers: Jordan Gowan, Sam Wallace, Matthew Wolff, Gillian Blackburn
Institution: Dalhousie University
Risks and Benefits: Risks are low in this study. Individual responses will be anonymous, but may be possibly traceable to respondents within the results.
The anticipated benefits of this project compare quite well against the low risk associated with this study. The information gathered from this survey will be used to help inform future infrastructure decisions.
Participant rights: Your participation in this research is entirely your choice. You do not have to answer questions you do not wish to answer and are welcome to stop the survey at any time if you no longer wish to participate. If you do complete your survey and you change your mind later, we will not be able to remove the information you provided as I will not know which response is yours. If you choose to participate in the study, you may discontinue participation at any time without penalty.
Confidentiality: The information you provide is de-identified, which means that your answers cannot be traced back to your name. This anonymous information may be shared or used with other researchers. We will work to make sure that no one sees your survey responses without approval. But, because we are using the Internet, there is a chance that someone could access your online responses without permission. In rare cases, this information could be used to identify you.
Incentives: Outside of your voice being heard in possible policy decisions, there are no incentives to participate in this research. By beginning the survey, you are consenting to your participation in this research study.
