In 2023, Perth County and its member municipalities of North Perth, Perth East, Perth South, and West Perth are aiming to launch a program to support their residents’ environmental projects, protecting our soil, water, and air. We want to hear from you!

What We've Heard So Far

Below is a brief video about what we've heard so far. Take a moment to watch the video and let us know if we have heard your input correctly or if there is something we have missed. Click the link below the video to complete the Program Development Feedback form. The form will be available until end of day on April 2, 2023.

What's Next?

Once the survey is closed, we will share what we heard and some of the emerging priorities from our community engagement sessions. From there, there will be an opportunity to provide further feedback and let us know if we have captured everything. Subscribe to this page by clicking the "Receive Email Updates..." below to receive a notification of when the second round of feedback begins.

Following the second round of input, the information and research will be brought back to the County's Agricultural Working Group for review.

Community Survey

Thank you to everyone who took time to complete the Community Survey! The survey closed on March 15, 2023 and received 160 responses.

Community Engagement Sessions

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend! We hosted five community input sessions booked to gather your thoughts about the development of a new Stewardship Program for Perth County.

  • Friday, Feb 17 from 1-3pm - Perth East Recreation Complex, Milverton (Perth East) - Complete!
  • Wednesday, Feb 22 from 7-9pm - Mitchell, West Perth Municipal Office, Mitchell (West Perth) - POSTPONED due to inclement weather (see rescheduled date below)

  • Wednesday, March 1 from 7-9pm - Online - Complete!

We’ll be taking all your ideas and feedback to Perth County's Agricultural Working Group for review with the goal to bring a recommendation to County Council before the end of the year.
