Have Your Say on Community Engagement at GMCT

We want to hear from you. Share your ideas on what would make our memorial parks more welcoming and what kinds of events matter most to your community.

We’re inviting you to help shape how we connect with our community at GMCT.

Every year, thousands of people visit our memorial parks and cemeteries to honour loved ones, spend time in nature, connect with culture and community, and attend events.

We want to better understand what brings you to our spaces, what would make it easier to get involved, and what kinds of gatherings matter most to you.

Your feedback will help us create events and spaces that reflect our community.

What happens with your feedback

All your ideas, comments and survey results will be brought together to understand what people value, what they need, and how we can improve the way we communicate and connect across our parks.

Following the consultation period, we’ll share what we heard, how your feedback was used, and what’s changing as a result.
