Throughout the month of March, Huron County Economic Development, along with Forum Research Inc. and the University of Western Ontario, will conduct a survey on the experiences of discrimination in both Huron and Perth region.
"In order for Huron to better understand how we can make our communities more inclusive, we need to first learn how our residents are experiencing discrimination," said Warden Glen McNeil. "With this knowledge, we can work towards a greater sense of belonging for all people in Huron."
Forum Research Inc. will be administering the survey to measure the experiences and effects of discrimination at the local level.
Individuals will be randomly selected and contacted through a phone call. If individuals are eligible and willing to participate, they will receive a link to the survey through a text message or by email.
The responses will be collected through an online survey platform and remain confidential.
Participation in this study is completely voluntary, and there will be no compensation for participating.
