The City of Colwood is encouraging residents to take part in a satisfaction survey to share their views about quality of life in Colwood. It is an opportunity to talk about which city services are most important to you and where there are opportunities for improvement. The findings will help Colwood Council and staff better understand citizen priorities and expectations.

“As a new Mayor and Council, our focus is on listening to residents to deepen our understanding of their wants, needs and expectations,” said Mayor Kobayashi. “One way we hope to do that is by encouranging residents to participate in the Colwood Citizen Satisfaction Survey. We want to know what matters most to residents."

How will citizen survey results be used?

The survey findings will inform the City’s 2023 strategic planning process to guide short and long term priorities. The information will also be compared with previous survey data to evaluate progress over time. Results of the survey will be made available on the City of Colwood website when they are collated and presented to Colwood Council. 

Feedback drives improvement

The City is striving to continually improve our community and provide the highest quality of service for citizens. Asking residents ‘how are we doing?’ and ‘what’s most important to you?’ provides critical information we need to make decisions about the community-building services, projects and initiatives we will focus on. To all those who participate, we sincerely appreciate your time and value your input.
