Staying Engaged During Lockdown

COVID-19 Community Survey

 

Kingston Council has launched a survey to check-in with our community during COVID-19 and on the road to recovery. 

 

 The results will help Council provide targeted services, respond to changing community needs and make sure we are caring for our community.

 

How can you help?

 

  1. Simply sign up to take part in a short ongoing survey; weekly for the first 2 months and then a monthly check-in.
  2. If you have previously signed up check you inbox for your reminder to continue participating.

The survey will take about 5 minutes to complete, and you can opt out any time.  See here for more information and to sign up.
