Thank you for taking the time to provide the writing team, IPS Island Planning Services, with your stakeholder feedback on the draft of the Invasive Species Strategy for Metro Vancouver. This opportunity for online feedback is for those that were not able to attend the February 19th third stakeholder session, or for those that were not able to provide all of the feedback they wanted to at that session.

This survey is in the same format as the feedback session at the stakeholder meeting. The topics provided are those that were discussed in a "World Cafe" format at the session where stakeholders could move to topics of their greatest interest for 20 minute intervals. Feel free to only comment on questions you would like to.

The purpose of this final opportunity to provide feedback is to ensure that the writing team has not missed any major topics, missed any important details, or proposed anything that will not work. Please keep this in mind as you provide feedback as the process is in its "winding down phase" and the final content is scheduled to be completed by early April. Thank you again for taking the time to provide us your very valuable feedback.
