RRDC Housing Survey results- communication with your citizens 1] There were in the end five different types of surveys done. 3 varieties of the long form survey for people resident in Ross River and 2 varieties of a short form survey for people not resident in Ross River. 2] Data entry  has been completed of all of the RRDC Housing Surveys and has produced results . The results need to be clearly communicated to our citizens. 3] Results could also be put on our RRDC website, which nobody has updated in years. If we use our website we need to get somebody to regularly update it, as a way to inform our citizens. 4] Also could put results in a stand-alone website such as the one developed for White River First Nation. 5] It would also be helpful to do a newsletter on the results, for people who do not have internet.
