The Municipality of the County of Victoria is committed to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA).

By sharing your experiences and insights in our IDEA Engagement, you’ll help Victoria County become a more welcoming and inclusive place to live and work.

This project is all about listening to the people who know our communities best. On our IDEA project page, you can use the interactive tools to complete a survey, ask questions and even use an interactive map to show us where things need to improve or where things are going well. We want to hear from as many people as possible, especially those who face challenges every day. Your feedback will help shape a plan that includes the voices of people with real experiences.
