Home-distributed, survey of rural attitudes now underway       ...will be followed with on-line survey

The Rural Council announced today that they will begin limited distribution through the first two weeks of July of their survey on rural attitudes. The random survey of rural areas and villages in West Carleton, Goulbourn, Rideau and Osgoode wards, will gauge satisfaction with city government and potential interest in de-amalgamation. Anyone who doesn’t receive a home-delivered copy of the survey will be able to complete it on-line, at www.ruralcouncil.ca, between July 15th and July 31st.

First survey results will be published in the media and on this website in late July.
