If you get the call, you may want to take this survey.

The citizens of Colwood are being asked to vocalize their level of satisfaction with the services provided by the City, and the mayor and council who oversee their provision.

B次元官网网址淭his survey is really targeted at the silent majority, those that donB次元官网网址檛 come to meetings but have an interest in their community,B次元官网网址� said Colwood Coun. Gordie Logan. B次元官网网址淲e are really trying to mine what their feelings are.B次元官网网址�

A random selection of 400 citizens from across the municipality will be contacted by phone through the first week of February. The goal is to hear from a broad range of residents across the seaside municipality.

Recreation and transportation services are among the survey topics.

Citizens will also be asked their opinions on services in the community and whether they feel they are receiving good value for their property taxes.

B次元官网网址淲e want to be able to react and offer services that residents are wanting and seeking, and we want to know that what weB次元官网网址檙e doing is meeting their expectations,B次元官网网址� Logan said.

B次元官网网址淚f not, it will serve as an opportunity to refocus and turn the ship in a different direction.B次元官网网址�

Results from the survey are expected sometime in late February, when they will be presented to Colwood council and made available on the CityB次元官网网址檚 website.

Public responses will help inform the councilB次元官网网址檚 2016 strategic planning and budget processes to guide short- and long-term priorities.

Anyone not contacted by phone may also complete an online survey at www.colwood.ca.

B次元官网网址淭his is our first one we have done, (and) we would expect it wouldnB次元官网网址檛 be our last. WeB次元官网网址檒l do more in the future,B次元官网网址� Logan said. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e hoping that our residents will let it all out and give us their honest opinion, and we look forward to sharing that feedback.B次元官网网址�
