Grande Prairie residents will have an opportunity to weigh in on city services and community priorities as the City of Grande Prairie launches its 2026 Resident Satisfaction Survey.
The survey, which runs from June 11 to July 2, is intended to gather feedback on municipal services, property taxes, city spending priorities, communication methods and overall quality of life.
The city has hired Forum Research to conduct telephone interviews with residents using both landlines and cellphones. An online version of the survey will also be available for those who are not contacted by phone.
Mayor Jackie Clayton said the survey is one of the city’s largest public engagement initiatives and gives residents an opportunity to identify what is working well and where improvements could be made. She said the information collected will help support council’s strategic plan and future decision-making.
The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete. According to the city, using telephone interviews alongside an online option will help gather feedback from a broad cross-section of the community.
The city said individual responses will remain confidential and will only be reported as part of the overall results.
Once the survey period ends, the findings will be compared with previous resident surveys and data from other municipalities to help guide long-term planning and set future priorities. The results will be released publicly at a later date.
