COMMUNITY FOUNDATION RELEASES VITAL SIGNS 2009 SURVEY

The Greater Saint John Community Foundation is releasing an online survey on "Greater Saint John's Vital SignsR" today, with an invitation to the public to "grade" our community's quality of life. Vital SignsR is an annual community check-up conducted by more than a dozen community foundations across Canada.

It measures the vitality of our cities, identifies
significant trends, and assigns grades in at least ten areas critical to quality of life, using data compiled from many national, provincial and local sources.

The survey is posted on the Community Foundation's web-site,

or by going directly to:

In
an effort to engage youth, the Foundation's Facebook fans and Twitter followers are being invited to participate.
