Help us plan the future of your community centre!

Engadine Community Services is planning future social, recreational and activity programs, and we are inviting local residents to complete a short survey to help shape what comes next.

You can find the survey here: https://forms.office.com/r/wfU58jN8SJ

A previous survey helped us introduce new programs such as Line Dancing, Gentle Gym, Walking Group and Seniors’ Sing-Along, as well as Music Play and Messy Play for children. We are now seeking fresh feedback to better understand what activities and services people would like to see in the future.

The survey is open to current ECS clients, local community members, and anyone with an interest in activities for older people and families in our area. It will take only 1-2 minutes to complete.

Your feedback will help us continue to provide programs that are welcoming and responsive to local needs.
If you know someone who may be interested, please share this post.
