I understand it went well, and several people came home a little richer after visiting the slots. I was told the prime rib was delicious, and the selection of food and deserts was excellent as well. WE will be returning on September 24. The Hikers will be having their final hike on Friday, June 29. They usually finish with a picnic, but this year decided to have the picnic a week earlier. The Dart players have played their final games and darts and hiking will restart in September. At Thursday afternoon's Bid Euchre, Frances Hogenbirk had the only mooner. The Bingo was well attended and we hope to hold another in either August or September. Watch this column for details at a later date. I did not report on last weeks 50/50.

On Monday, July 2, the Region will launch the first survey and ask panel members about their satisfaction with Regional services and how they believe the Region should invest tax dollars in the coming year. "Budgeting is about making choices and our new survey panel offers a timely way to gather input from Halton's residents," said Regional Chair Gary Carr. "Regional Council truly does value the input we receive from residents, as it allows us to make better decisions on issues that impact us all." To receive Halton MVP surveys, residents must join the panel and complete a demographic questionnaire at www.halton.ca/ MVP. Halton MVP will survey residents about a variety of Regional issues and initiatives including waste management, service optimization, housing, emergency preparedness and more. As part of the program, and to ensure there is twoway communication, Halton Region will make summary survey results available on its website. Residents who register to join Halton MVP may be invited to participate in up to eight surveys each year. Registration is open to all residents of Halton Region (excluding employees of Halton Region) 18 years of age or older. For more information about Halton MVP visit www.halton.ca/MVP. The Halton MVP survey panel will be managed and administered by Jane Armstrong Research Associates on behalf of Halton Region through a secure website. All correspondence, data collection and data analysis are the responsibility of Armstrong Research. The names of panellists, or any other identifiable information, will not be released without written permission by the participant. Individual views will remain anonymous and data will always be analyzed - and presented to Halton Region - in the aggregate.
