Bowen Island Municipal Council is asking for feedback from Bowen Island residents and property owners to help inform development of its strategic plan for 2018.

Bowen Island Municipal Council is asking for feedback from Bowen Island residents and property owners to help inform development of its strategic plan for 2018. 

Island Survey 2018 is offered online, and focuses on the areas of Municipal Services, Emergency Preparedness and Housing issues on Bowen Island. It takes about 10 minutes to complete and is open until December 20, 2017. The intent is to collect relevant, Bowen-specific data that will complement Census data, in order to inform Council’s decisions on services, support grant applications and to help anticipate demand. The survey will also provide baseline information for year over year comparisons. 

The most recent “Householder” survey was completed in 2012. Island Survey 2018 is an updated survey that does not duplicate surveys recently undertaken for parks, culture and recreation plans. Personal information is not collected – all responses are to be provided anonymously – and an aggregate of the results will be publicly available in 2018.

Residents who don’t have a computer, or wish to complete the survey in an alternative format, can get help from staff at Municipal Hall.
