Land Use Plan Survey Part A- Jan 17th - Feb 28, 2022
The Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation (MSIFN) is creating a Land Use and Servicing Plan (LUSP) for the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation Community Lands. This LUSP will help guide the planning, development and infrastructure on community lands for the long-term future.
The purpose of this survey is to gather feedback from MSIFN community members to determine priorities, goals, opportunities for improvements, and concerns about current and future land development.
This survey is in 3 parts, please ensure you complete Part A, B, and C which will take approximately 8-10 minutes to complete for each part.
If you have any questions about the LSUP or this survey, please email Clayton Coppaway ccoppaway@dillion.ca or Stephanie Burnham, sburnham@dillon.ca or Rhonda Coppaway, rcoppaway@scugogfirstnation.com to learn more about the MSIFN Land Use and Servicing plan, please visit: https://engage.mysocialpinpoint.ca/msifn-lusp-faq
You can send the completed survey to Monica Sanford at msanford@scugogfirstnation.com or mail back in the enclosed envelope.
Prize Draw
Please complete the survey by Feb 28, 2022 to be entered into a draw for a chance to win a prize.
Your participation in this survey is voluntary. All individual responses will be kept confidential and will be used only for the purposes of helping to develop a LUSP for MSIFN. Non-identifiable aggregated summaries of responses will be reported as part of the LUSP. This means that no specific feedback can be linked back to you.
Thank you for your participation! Your feedback is important to us!

Your perspectives on planning As we build the MSIFN Land Use Servicing Plan (LUSP), we need to understand your relationship to the land in order to clearly define the future that we envision for our community. To do this, we need to identify your community values and principles that will guide planning practices now and in the future.

| See 7. above | |
| Secure water access, work toward food sovereignty, acquire more land, make space to be on the land and repair that relationship. | |
| Buy land | |
| I'm uncertain here. I know the intent of the Chief and Council but I don't know all the action. Perhaps I'm too busy to delve. Perhaps we need more communication avenues. | |
