Welcome to the 2017 Second Home Study Survey
Dear Second Home Owner,
We'd like to get to know you better!
Given the significance of Muskoka's seasonal population, the District of Muskoka periodically collects information through the Second Home Study Survey. This survey is an important tool for collecting the voices of our seasonal residents in order to shape services, programs and infrastructure to meet changing needs. The results also provide valuable information to local businesses and the individual area municipalities.
Although all of the following questions are important, please feel free to skip questions that do not apply to you or your situation, or that you are not comfortable answering. The survey is anonymous. No information you provide will be linked back to you personally.
For general information about the Second Home Study, please visit www.muskoka.on.ca/2ndHomeStudy. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
Thank you for taking the time to complete the following questionnaire and we look forward to sharing the results with you.
Please complete the survey by August 31, 2017.
The survey includes the following parts:
1. Your Muskoka Second Home 2. Your Household Structure and Frequency of Use 3. Your Guests 4. Your Household's Contribution to the Muskoka Economy 5. Health Services 6. Waste Management Services 7. Muskoka Airport 8. Additional Comments
