The Ladysmith Maritime Society is seeking your input on a critical issue affecting our community. As you are no doubt aware, the Province and the Town of Ladysmith abruptly cancelled our community marina's lease as part of a reconciliation agreement and turned it over to new management, without compensation to LMS. This decision has significant implications for our organization and the broader Ladysmith community.

We are conducting this survey to gather feedback from community members like you about the impact of this decision. Your responses will be invaluable in helping us:

1) Understand the community's perspective on this change;
2) Assess the potential effects on local maritime activities and access;
3) Strengthen our case as we continue to advocate for the Ladysmith Maritime Society;
4) Work towards securing a permanent home for our organization; and,
5) Ensure continued access to cost-effective moorage within Ladysmith Harbour.

Your honest feedback is crucial in our efforts to represent the community's interests and shape the future of maritime activities in Ladysmith.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences with us.

All responses will be kept confidential and used solely for the purposes stated above.
