Citizen Satisfaction Survey

The District of Squamish is conducting a Citizen Satisfaction Survey to hear from a cross-section of residents about how they are doing, and how the District is doing when it comes to our programs and services. 

This survey has been sent to a random sample of residents across all Squamish neighbourhoods. If you did not receive a survey in the mail, we invite you to complete a community-wide digital version, available at letstalksquamish.ca/citizen-satisfaction-survey.

Please consider taking the time to provide your feedback that will help inform District Council strive to best meet the needs of all Squamish citizens.
