15 Independent & Free Press, Thursday, May 12, 2011 The Regional NOTICE OF HALTON REGION'S 2011 COMPREHENSIVE EMPLOYMENT SURVEY Municipality of Halton www.halton.ca The Regional Municipality of Halton will be conducting its Annual Comprehensive Employment Survey in 2011. The data collected is vital for monitoring the Region's economic health, as well as aiding in policy and decision making. It is essential background information for forecasting and planning the Region's infrastructure and services for the residents and businesses of Halton. Between May and September 2011, a team of surveyors from the Region's Planning Services Division will visit each and every business establishment in Halton to gather information about the number of employees working at each location and the type of employment that is taking place there. The surveyors will wear a Halton Region shirt and cap, each bearing the Halton Region Logo, as well as a visible photo ID card that identiÍes them as part of the iHalton Employment Survey Team 2011." All data collected from the survey will be grouped together and only be released to the public as statistical highlights of economic and employment patterns and trends. Individual business information will not be identiÍable or published in the results of the Region's survey. It will be shared with our Local Municipalities and used for planning and municipal related purposes. Our intent is to publish an Employment Survey Bulletin which will highlight overall employment patterns and trends in early 2012. The success of this important survey depends upon the assistance and co-operation of the Region's business community. If you have any questions or comments regarding the survey, please contact Planning Services at 905-825-6000 ext. 7206.
