ABOUT THE PROJECT

We conducted our second-ever Citizen Satisfaction Survey from May 22 to July 4, 2023. The survey provided an opportunity for residential property owners to share input on the services and programs they receive, and share what they think the County should prioritize.

We heard from 512 residential property owners. The input will help administration and Council identify areas of success and gaps with our programming and services. It also helps us deliver the services you need and want, while providing good value for your taxes.

The survey was anonymous. While each property was assigned a unique survey codes, this was done to ensure we heard from residential citizens in Leduc County only. These survey codes were not shared with Leduc County alongside responses.


WHAT WE HEARD

Our What We Heard Report, available below, provides a complete overview of the feedback we received. We are committed to open, transparent communication, and have also published the full report from the consultant, Leger.


NEXT STEPS: YOUR FEEDBACK IN ACTION

Leduc County is committed to increasing citizen satisfaction, and is incorporating the feedback received into the County's annual planning process.
