The UNA Community Engagement Survey was launched on Monday, April 11, 2022 and closed on Monday, May 2. It was distributed by email newsletter and through mailout to all addresses in the UBC neighbourhoods.

In total, the survey received 867 respondents (85% by email, 15% by mailout/website). The data is valid 19 times out of 20 within the margin of error based on an estimated population of 15,000 (+/-3.21%).

This is the first year of data collection for this survey and results will be helpful for the UNA as it sets baselines and works to improve communications and engagement with residents. Please note that the survey did not include questions about recreation and community centre programming because more engagement opportunities are being planned.
