Consumers of Activity Guide

School teachers, Guide and Scout Leaders, Other Youth Leaders:

I am calling to learn your opinion about the Guide. I work for Fair Findings, a research company. We have been asked by Citizenship and Immigration to talk to teachers to discover their views and their suggestions about the Guide. We respect and hold confidential your views. Only a group report will be given to Citizenship and Immigration.

Your views are important so that CIC can continue to improve the Guide and make it fully responsive to you — the user.
