Survey of the Social Economy in Northern Canada

We are currently conducting a follow up survey in order to further examine the impacts and importance of social economy groups in the North. In doing so, we hope to confirm what information we already have as well as fill in the blanks as to what information is missing. We are sending groups a questionnaire and cover letter by either e-mail or mail, and will be contacting them at a later date to fill in what information is needed. Participants also have the option to fill in the questionnaire on their own and send it back to our office.

Cover Letter (July, 2009) English French Inuktitut

Questionnaire 2009 English French Inuktitut
