This toolkit is organized chronologically to help you throughout the surveying period. Please note that the survey will officially open at the beginning of May and close on June 16, 2023.

The templates below have been updated to meet our ethics requirements, established by the Community Research Ethics Office. We strongly encourage you to add your institutional branding and personalize the messages as much as possible to target your student groups, but please do not remove any of the information that we have included in these messages.
