University Project Survey Results
January 27, 2008
Welcome to the university project discussion and information site!
In November 2007, an online survey was sent to Grey-Bruce Owen Sound residents to assess the level of interest in and support for a university in the region. The response was incredibly positive and exciting.
The following four documents provide a summary of the survey results and a discussion on sustainability education. I look forward to hearing your comments and responses.
- Summary of Survey Findings
- Final Report: Sustainability Education and a University Project in GBOS
- Survey Comments
- Survey Results - graphs
To keep the momentum generated by the survey going, we have launched this page on the Owen. Here you will find:
- A discussion forum
- Resources (please send me relevant articles, websites, etc. to post here)
- Reports
Of particular importance right now would be to establish some Next Steps regarding the university project. You will see that I have made a list in the Summary of Survey Findings report. Is there anything that I’ve missed that you would like to add?
Please contact me directly if you have any additional questions regarding this site and the university project at julia_ostertag@yahoo.ca.
Thank you to all survey respondents and Ryan Wiseman for hosting this site on www.theowen.com.
The Owen Sound University Project

In a nutshell we are looking to carry out a conversation about the idea of a university/extension university/graduate studies program…. might look like if it were to be located in Owen Sound / the Grey/Bruce area.
More details will be along shortly (…I needed to write a post so I can fine tune the project homepage here at theOwen.com) so get your thinking caps on and be ready to take part.
