Citizen Surveys

2017 Citizen Survey

To ensure we’re meeting your service expectations and to help us set our strategic priorities, we survey a random sample of Oakville residents every two years to find out if we’re hitting our mark.

As part of our 2017 Citizen Survey process, Pollara Strategic Insights conducted a telephone survey on our behalf in January. To complement the phone survey, we also conducted an online survey and opened Idea Forum to get your candid feedback about town programs, services and more. Thank you to all those who participated!

The results are in!
