The Bazaar itself had so much to offer from talented community artists to good food and snacks. Being it was so busy it felt even greater to get people engaged our booth but also in our Hoonah community survey. Thank you to Brynn for providing cookies to help draw people into the surveys. We would also like to add a congratulations to the winners of our raffle for filling out the survey. We had two winners of a $50 gift card to Sportsmans Warehouse and a $50 for Western Auto Marine. In the end 50 surveys were handed out and 43 surveys were filled out and turned back in.
Our survey’s goal is to include community voice in our Climate Adaptation Plan. The plan aims guide our work and to address community concern involving climate change and its impact on Hoonah. We’d like to hear from every one of our community members perspectives on the subject. We’d like to know; do you believe climate change is happening? Do you see any climate change impacts here? With or without climate change impacts do you believe we should be taking any measures to protect our traditional foods and resources for now and into the future? All these questions and your perspective on them can be filled out in our survey below.
