Vital Signs is a community check-up that measures vitality, identifies significant trends and supports action on issues that are critical to quality of life
Our Vital Signs report contains important data on eight topics: Our Community, Thriving in Grey Bruce, Sustainable Communities & Housing, Good Health & Wellbeing, Youth & Lifelong Learning, Culture & Recreation, Our Natural Environment, Belonging & Inclusion
