Providing your feedback anonymously

Transcript - Providing your feedback anonymously

This video “Providing your feedback anonymously” is for people who use American Sign Language (ASL). For this reason, close captioning is not available.

You can provide feedback and remain fully anonymous if you use the online questionnaire, the phone or Video Relay Service. To ensure anonymity, do not state your name or provide any identifying information.

If you are using an email address that includes your name and want to remain anonymous, state that you would like your feedback to remain anonymous. That way, we will not identify you with anyone beyond Canadian Heritage’s Accessibility Office.

For physical mail, if you would like to remain fully anonymous, please do not include your return address on the envelope. If you would like to receive an acknowledgement with a response regarding your feedback, please let us know within your feedback that you would like to remain anonymous but receive a response back. We will not identify you with anyone beyond the Accessibility Office.

Please note that all feedback will be anonymized when we report publicly on all feedback.
