Thank you for taking the time to provide the ASK Wellness Society with some feedback on what you, a member of the community which we serve, see in your day to day life as it relates to the work that we do. The purpose of this survey is to inform our staff and leadership team as to what the public sees as our areas most needed for improvement as well as to let us know what the public feels we are doing well. Additionally, these results will help us see where the gaps are in community education and where we need to focus our communication efforts in order to ensure the public is well-informed regarding issues of addiction, mental health, substance use, homelessness, health, and more.

If you have any questions regarding this survey or would like to reach out directly, don’t hesitate to contact me at m.mcdonald@askwellness.ca or by phone at 250-682-3059.

Kind Regards,

Michael McDonald
