In promoting well-being, our goal is to increase the participation of local residents and cooperation with organizations, associations and various industries.
The City of Hamina's strategy survey is underway!
The City of Hamina has begun preparations for a new city strategy for the council term 2025-2029. The aim is to create a new city strategy that guides the long-term goals of the city's operations and economy, taking into account the city's current and future needs, as well as the expectations and wishes of residents and various actors.
We are collecting valuable information for the preparation of the new strategy with two surveys. This strategy survey will map the views of municipal residents and stakeholders on issues that should be taken into account when drafting the new strategy. In addition, a separate survey has been directed at city staff and elected officials for the 2025-2029 council term.
A summary of the results will be published on the hamina.fi website and the results will be used as part of Hamina's strategy work. Names and contact information will not be collected, and respondents cannot be identified. Responding to the survey will take approximately 10 minutes.
You can answer the survey electronically or with a paper form at Hamina Main Library, Ruissalo Library and the Linnotin Swimming Pool.
The response period is May 26, 2025 – June 9, 2025.

What can you do as a parent if you are concerned about your child or young person's problematic digital or gambling? And where can parents seek support and additional help if their child or young person's gambling is problematic?
Even if they are digital games, they can involve the use of money and features reminiscent of gambling. Parents have an important role in identifying the features of gambling and intervening in minors' use of money in games. It is also good to discuss finances, the use of money and easy wins in relation to digital gaming and in-game purchases.
