Whisterites can have their say in the municipality's annual Community Life Survey, starting today.
Used to help inform the Resort Municipality of Whistler's (RMOW) decision-making on the community's services, needs and priorities, as well as to measure the municipality's service performance, the survey will consist of phone interviews with 300 permanent residents and 200 second homeowners, along with an online survey for all residents who wish to participate.
“This is the community’s chance to provide input on all things ‘Whistler.' I encourage all residents to participate in the Community Life Survey," said Whistler Mayor Jack Crompton in a release.
Conducted by Deloitte LLP, the phone surveys are approximately 15 minutes long and begin May 30. All calls will come from the number 877-392-0956. Questions will be focused on community life in Whistler, and will include some demographic questions. Surveyors will never ask for private personal information that could identify you, isuch as a Social Insurance Number.
Those interested can sign up for the online survey at whistler.ca/survey, where they will receive a unique URL by email to access the poll. A link will be sent when the survey becomes available on June 27. Responses will remain confidential and will not be linked to the email address provided, the RMOW said.
The online survey runs from June 27 to July 17. Those that participate in the phone survey do not need to fill out an online survey.
Survey results are expected to be shared with the public later this summer.
The survey has been apart of the RMOW's community monitoring program since 2006. View the results from past surveys at whistler.ca/survey.
