CLOSED: This survey has concluded.
Thank you for your interest in the Area F Governance & Services Study. The Study is an initiative of the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) and is guided by a citizen’s Committee and overseen by the RDN Board. The Committee is sharing information about regional district services provided to Area F, including how decisions are made, and the cost of those services, through five open houses, an overview document as well as the project website, getinvolved.rdn.ca/eaf-gsstudy. The survey can be filled out online or in hard copy prior to Tuesday, January 31, 2023 at midnight. Feedback will be summarized for the Committee and community.
