Survey focuses on road safety in Grey Bruce

The Community Safety and Well-Being Planning’s Crime Prevention Action Table has launched a community wide road safety survey in Grey Bruce.

The survey is in partnership with Georgian College to offer residents a chance to voice their opinions on road safety concerns.

The survey is made up of four questions that aim to better understand priority roadways and intersections, top road safety concerns, and seasonal trends.

Bruce and Grey County, Saugeen First Nation, and Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation residents are invited to complete the survey from June 17, 2024, until September 17, 2024.

The information collected will be analyzed by Georgian College Research Analyst students and will be used to assist in developing community initiatives moving forward through the Crime Prevention Action Table.

The survey takes about five minutes, and participants will be entered into a draw to win a gift card to Tim Hortons.

"Community Safety and Well Being Planning helps organizations improve the things that keep us healthy, happy, and safe. Together, we use research to create solutions focused on education, health care, food, housing, income, crime, and belonging," read a statement from Grey and Bruce Counties. "It is important that we create a welcoming community where problems are solved before they happen and where different professionals and community members come together to help people now and in the future."
