2021 Resident Survey
From September 1 to September 24, 2021, residents who received an invitation to participate can complete the 2021 Resident Survey in English or French online, by mail, or by telephone. Invitations were sent to 20,000 randomly selected households across the municipality, with each district receiving a portion of invitations reflective of its proportion of the total population of the Region.
The survey asks a broad range of questions about municipal services, resident preferences and priorities, and satisfaction with services and service experience. The results will be used to guide the municipality with its immediate and long-term business and budget planning.
Please complete the survey if you receive an invitation to participate.
Check back in late November for results from the 2021 Resident Survey.
