Our High River and the Town of High River are inviting all residents, businesses and agencies to complete the 2018 Vital Signs survey designed to measure quality of life in High River!
“This year we will be gathering information from citizens, agencies and businesses that will allow us to better understand how our community has changed since 2016. We are also looking to identify what our community currently would like to prioritize and celebrate,” said Kalie Mosig, research and content lead for the project.
Participants who complete the survey can enter to win 1 of 5 $50.00 gift certificates to a local business of their choice! The survey can be found online at OURHIGHRIVER.COM or HIGHRIVER.CA and takes around 30 minutes to complete. Print copies of the survey are also available at FCSS and can be returned to FCSS or the Town of High River’s main office.
The survey will officially launch on Monday May 14th – but you can join us at Community Cafe on Wednesday May 9th to be the first to take it and be entered-to-win a prize!
The deadline to complete the survey is June 4th and the report will be released in October 2018. Participation in the survey is highly encouraged as the data is used by the Town, other agencies and community groups when planning for the future and addressing current citizen needs.
Mosig also stated that “We know of some projects launched in High River have been influenced by the 2016 Vital Signs data. For example, one community priority identified was the increasing the availability of additional affordable mental health services . FCSS was able to utilize this information to support starting Foothills Community Counselling.”
This is the 3rd year Vital Signs will be used to measure quality of life in High River by providing a complete checkup on the community in the areas of connection, environment, expression, health and wellbeing, lifelong learning, livability, safety and security, and thriving populations.
