The Visioning Committee would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who completed the Phase 1 survey. Please note that everyone can participate in this survey and it is not limited to those who completed the first one. Before we proceed with the second survey let us share some of the feedback that we received from the Phase 1.

– 93% of the people who responded confirmed that their needs are being met at Cole Harbour Woodside United Church (CHWUC).

– 88% who responded are active in CHWU mentioning worship, being close to nature, fellowship outreach and ministries.

– About 15% to 20% of respondents actively engage CHWUC online

– The most pressing justice issues include, food insecurity, racism, refugees, residential schools and the environment

– In our community the most pressing issues include, health care access, food insecurity, housing and senior support.

The questions on this survey were created based on the answers to the Phase 1 survey. The Phase 1 questions have been reiterated here and are followed by a brief explanation of the Phase 2 question that follows. The goal of this survey is to assess the interest in ideas that were generated to address the views and desires of the people at CHWUC. A variety of programming and committees have been recommended. We want you to know as you complete this survey that we envision these programs and committees meeting regularly but that each committee/group will determine the number of meetings per year that is appropriate.

We hope that we have covered a range of opportunities so that everyone can find something that they would enjoy doing and feel valued in participating.

CONFIDENTIALITY 

Please note that the results of this survey will not be anonymous unless otherwise indicated for each question. The reason for this option is so that we can know who is interested in each activity and they will be contacted. We understand that some people may not be comfortable answering all of the questions. We want to hear from you especially if you are not interested in any of the suggestions we have made. We will listen respectfully. All answers and conversations will be held in confidentiality by the Vision Committee members.
