This short survey is meant to gain feedback from those who live locally or who use the 8th St Skatepark in Lakeshore-Etobicoke, Toronto. Our goal is to collect community feedback so that the new murals being added this summer to the existing Skatepark murals reflect the community needs and ideas, and are enjoyed as a creative expression of the local community for years to come. Please submit your answers by August 6, 2020
