Here is an opportunity to help improve services for people with disabilities in our area at the regional level.  Region is taking a survey how services are and can be improved.

Are you a person with a disability who has used Durham Region services? We invite you to tell us about your experience.

Our goal is to learn more about the services that residents access; what Durham Region has done well; and how Regional services can be improved.  Don’t have a disability?  We would still like to hear from you!

Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts in this short survey.

Thank you for being part of Your Voice Durham. We value your input, and remain committed to delivering service excellence to our growing and diverse community.

Kind regards,
