What if spending a few minutes answering a survey could help influence decisions that affect rural communities for years to come?

Researchers at the University of Guelph are inviting residents across rural Ontario to participate in the Health, Economic, and Adaptation in Rural Communities (HEAR) Initiative, a long-term research project examining life outside the province's major urban centres.

The survey asks about topics including health, housing, employment, community well-being, and how rural communities are adapting to environmental changes. Researchers say the information will help create a publicly available dataset that can support future planning, policy development, and funding decisions.

For communities like ours, the survey offers an opportunity to ensure rural experiences are reflected in research that often shapes government priorities.

Participants who complete the survey will also have the chance to win an iPad.

Consider taking a few minutes to complete the survey and share it with friends and neighbours. The more local voices included, the stronger the picture of rural Ontario will be.
