Inclusivity survey update
North Battleford’s regional survey, part of an effort to promote diversity and inclusion organizationally, is complete. A total of 1,040 people participated in the survey, conducted between December and February, was completed jointly with the Town of Battleford.
Both municipalities are handing out five $50 gift certificates to participants drawn at random. A more detailed update is being brought back to council with the survey’s results, in order to help craft a draft action plan.
