Help Shape an Inclusive Future for Victoria County

By sharing your experiences and insights in our IDEA Engagement Survey, you’ll help shape a plan that makes Victoria County a more welcoming and inclusive place to live and work.
The engagement survey intends to gather feedback from people who live and/or work in Victoria County. This feedback will be shared with the IDEA Committee to help build the municipality’s IDEA plan and guide ongoing work.
