We're taking a fresh look at the Civic Awards program, and we want to hear from you!
Our Civic Awards celebrate the incredible people who make our community stronger, kinder, and more vibrant. As we review and evaluate the program, we're inviting residents to share their feedback and ideas through a short survey.
The survey will touch on several key themes, including:
- General awareness of the program
- Thoughts on how the program is delivered by the Municipality
- Ceremony format and award presentation
- Award categories and selection criteria
- The nomination process
- Program timelines
- Communications and marketing efforts
Your input will help us shape a refreshed and more meaningful recognition program—one that truly reflects the values, spirit, and achievements of Port Hope. Take a moment to tell us what matters to you.
Please complete this survey by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, August 29 and you will have the opportunity to be entered into a draw to win a 150$ gift card to a local business of your choice! Please refer to our terms of reference for more information.
