Waikato Vital Signs® is a community check-up that reports on the social, environmental, cultural and economic wellbeing of our communities, joining the dots between statistical information and what matters most to the people ‘living on the ground’.
Vital Signs® is coordinated internationally by Community Foundations of Canada and the Vital Signs® trademark is used with their permission.
