Young people survey, Tractor Day at LKCS, Minimum wage poll

Morning Coffee – By Aaron Hall

Young people survey

The Community Attraction and Promotion Department with the Municipality of Chatham-Kent is conducting a “Chatham-Kent to the Power of Young People” survey.

It is geared towards local residents aged 15-39 and is running for the month of June.

They are seeking feedback from young people on what they think about living in Chatham-Kent, and what they want more of. Both previous and current residents are encouraged to respond, as well as anyone who may never have lived in Chatham-Kent but have input on what would enable/encourage them to live here.

You can fill out the survey by clicking, here.
