The Town of Ajax is asking residents for their input on ways to build stronger neighbourhoods as part of the Town’s Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy. Starting Dec. 8 and running until Dec. 28, residents are encouraged to take the survey online at www.townofajax.com. Anyone without computer access is welcome to use a public access computer at Town Hall or the Ajax Public Library. Respondents are eligible to win one of three  Recreation Prize Packs! Helping to build a greater sense of neighbourhood in Ajax includes a number of steps, including a community mapping exercise, a review of other municipal neighbourhood studies and approaches, identifying demographics, and what already exists in terms of the Town's physical infrastructure and services that residents need closer to home (i.e. transit, child care). Further consultation with community groups and residents about neighbourhood ideas/issues will take place throughout the implementation process in early 2012. 

"We’re seeking input from residents on how they identify their neighbourhoods," says Marilou Murray, Manager of  Strategy, Communications & Policy, Town of Ajax. “The survey will help us understand the unique features of the diverse neighbourhoods across Ajax, find the gaps and develop programs and services that meet the growing needs of our community." The Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy is an important part of both the Town's Community Safety Strategy and the Diversity and Community Engagement Plan.
