Have Your Say Hastings Highlands!
Asset Management - Community Questionnaire

The Municipality is committed to providing a high quality of life and exceptional services to our residents. As our community continues to grow, we must invest your tax dollars wisely to maintain and improve our infrastructure, including roads, bridges, waste sites and transfer stations, parks, facilities, and recreational centres. Your input is crucial for future planning and asset management. This brief (5 min) Community Questionnaire provides you with an opportunity to share your thoughts on our strengths and weaknesses and your feedback on our priorities for the coming years. The information gathered will be used to develop the proposed levels of service asset management plan in accordance with Ontario Regulation 588/17 (https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/170588), which mandates municipalities to establish a strategic asset management policy and maintain an asset management plan for core and non-core municipal infrastructure assets. We thank you in advance for completing this questionnaire. If you have questions about the questionnaire, please contact Tanya Dickinson, Treasurer by email [email protected] or by phone (613) 338-2811 ext. 290.
