The local health unit is asking residents to take an anonymous online survey about individual cannabis use and the potential impact of legalization on themselves, their family and their community.
The Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health (WDGPH) survey is open to people whether or not they have used cannabis.
“Public health wants to know what are the local attitudes toward cannabis use, where are the information gaps and how do people plan to approach the legal use of a once-banned drug?” said Dr. Nicola Mercer, medical officer of health and CEO of WDGPH. “Our role is to understand what is happening in the community and what residents need to make healthy lifestyle choices.”
The survey can be found at WDGPublicHealth.ca/pot. Public health invites anyone aged 16 and older in Wellington, Dufferin or Guelph to take the survey.
Those who do so by June 30 are eligible to win one of five $100 gift cards.
