Memo from D. McAlpine, General Manager of Community and Corporate Services
Providing the results of the public survey to obtain community feedback on the City's Community Safety and Well-Being Plan
- Although we always applaud the City gathering community feedback, we received several comments from people who didn't see what information the survey was supposed to help gather, were frustrated with the vagueness of the questions, and/or noted that none of the questions were actually about the Plan, so were confused by the title.
