The Town of Hanover is a progressive and vibrant community, committed to providing a great quality of life and services to our residents and visitors. We recognize that our ability to consistently deliver exceptional services to our community depends on spending our time, energy and money on the things that matter most to our residents. That is why we have kicked off a project to create our 2023-2027 Strategic Action Plan! We are pleased to be partnering with Linton Consulting for this important project.

We need to make sure that the priorities that we set as the Town of Hanover matches up to what matters the most to you, our residents. We want a future that enhances our quality of life and sense of community. That is why citizen input is critical to the success of this assignment. Linton Consulting has developed a brief (5 min) Citizen Questionnaire for you to provide your thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of our Town, as well as, your feedback on what our priorities should be over the next few years.

We thank you in advance for completing this questionnaire before May 26th, 2023. If you have questions about the questionnaire, contact Kelly Linton directly at kelly@lintonconsulting.ca.

Thanks in advance for your input and for helping us to make Hanover an even better place to be!

Mayor Sue Paterson
