    Thanks for joining us!

    Given your on-the-ground understanding of Dufferin County and its tourism potential, we’re grateful that you’re willing to participate in this online survey. Our independent consultants, Bannikin Travel and Tourism, will only analyze the findings – no personal or identifiable data is being collected. It will take about 20 minutes to complete, and if you need any additional incentive, we are giving $1 per submission to the Orangeville Food Bank.

    We know that the impacts of Covid-19 make it difficult to plan ahead when there are so many uncertainties, so with that in mind, we ask that you approach your answers as they relate to the current environment and your expectations for what’s to come, versus relying on pre-Covid-19 circumstances.

    The survey will close on September 19 at 5 p.m.
