SURVEY: Is Rossland a family-friendly community?

The Rossland Sustainability Commission is working with the Lower Columbia Family Action Network to identify services, amenities, resources and characteristics that make Rossland a family friendly town for both residents and visitors.

Whether you are a current or past parent, current or past resident, grandparent or concerned citizen,  we are interested in your input!  To provide your input, we would like you to answer three questions:

1. From your perspective,  what currently makes Rossland a family friendly community?

2. What could we do, as a community, to make Rossland more family friendly?

3. Is there anything else you’d like to share with us about Rossland as a family friendly community?

Please click on this link to provide your answers on-line.  Your answers will remain anonymous and will be combined with responses from other folks.

In the next two weeks,  participants will receive a second email with a summary of all responses from the community.  At this time, you will have an opportunity to tell us which of the responses are your top priority for action.

If you have questions about the Family Friendly Rossland project or the survey,  please contact Ann Damude,  Sustainability Commission Manager at adamude@telus.net

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Submitted.

Family friendly?

Apparently not, if the question even needs to be asked.

Family friendly or not, here it comes...

I don't get it? How does asking a question answer itself in the negative?

"Do you like the food?" The host asks.

"Obviously not, since you had to ask," the guest replies with an insolent sneer.

Huh?

I think the point here is for people to respond in three ways:

1) How is Rossland "family friendly" now?

2) How is Rossland not family friendly now?

3) How do you think Rossland can improve?

But please, Sterlingsilva, elaborate on your criticism of this initiative! Do you feel strongly that Rossland is not family friendly? If so, I'm absolutely certain, from discussions with the Sustainability Commission manager, that everyone's opinion, whether from a new, old or non parent, whether living in Rossland now or in the past or in the future — and whether you feel Rossland is family friendly or not — will be valued and added to this very interesting, interactive means of public input.

So follow the link and add your 2 cents or more!
