Safe Communities Wellington County (SCWC) is asking the public to participate in a survey to determine the areas of greatest concern to local residents.
“Community involvement is vital to the success of Safe Communities Wellington County,” states a Sept. 21 press release from the organization.
“To continue to address accidents and injuries within Wellington County, we need your help.”
Paper copies of the survey are available at all Wellington County Library branches until Oct. 20.
County residents can also visit the SCWC website for an electronic link to complete the survey online.
Residents who complete the survey will have an opportunity to win a $50 grocery gift card.
Data from emergency room visits and hospital stays, along with a community survey and a 2012 priority-setting exercise, helped SCWC determine initial injury categories: motor vehicle collisions, falls and intentional self-harm, which are current priorities for SCWC.
“Have your say, and help Wellington County remain one of Canada’s safest places in which to live, learn, work and thrive by doing the survey,” SCWC officials urge.
The survey can also be done verbally by contacting program coordinator Christine Veit at 226-820-1413.
“We are always looking for passionate individuals or organizations that are interested in partnering or participating with Safe Communities Wellington County,” the organization states.
