Methodology

The online consultation completed a broad consultation process that included:

• A survey of sport, community and school organizations,
• An online survey of the public in February 2022 to identify usage patterns and satisfaction rates in relation to existing facilities;
• Targeted advisory activities with specific groups, including teens and seniors;
• A virtual public consultation session to better understand the public's expectations of their parks and green space system.

The City hired BC2 to assist them in setting up and managing the online consultation. The subject could have been dry, but it was well developed thanks to the expertise of the consultants. The wording was simplified, several images were used and the City was able to propose concrete projects on which the community could express itself. The pre-consultations helped to identify proposals and this final consultation exercise complemented the previous steps well.
