Exit Survey
 
 
Hello from the Fort Garry Community Centre!  We are considering offering a fun and active Kids Club at the Hobson site (880 Oakenwald) during the school calendar year.  Interested parents and caregivers are invited to participate in our short survey on after-school activity programming options for children ages 6 - 12 years.  

This survey is intended to gauge interests and needs of community families before we commit to developing and operating this type of after-school programming.  It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the questionnaire. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and your answers will be kept confidential.  It is very important for us to learn your opinions so we know if a fun Kids Club would be a viable program for FGCC.

If you have questions at any time about the survey, please contact Candace Penner, FGCC Administrative Coordinator, at 204-505-3970 or by email at the email address specified below. Thank you very much for your time and support!

Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
