The McKenzie CDC Wants Your Feedback – Website Survey

ByTom Atkinson November 4, 2021November 4, 2021

As we approach the end of another turbulent year and our communities move into recovery and rebuilding mode the McKenzie CDC is taking stock of our efforts going forwards and evaluating how we can best help and support the McKenzie valley in 2022.

With Covid-19 still limiting in-person gatherings and the type of on-the-ground, face-to-face assistance we can offer, the MCDC is looking to redevelop our website with the goal of providing helpful information, learning resources, and economic and environmental support to our communities in a user-friendly form.

We are asking you, the people of the valley, to input on our new online services via this short online survey. You can anonymously share your thoughts and feelings about our current website and comment on what you would find most useful on a new website. We want to hear what we can do for you as we all work towards rebuilding our beautiful valley.
