Medicine Hat to kick off community polling in May to help inform city hall decision-making
Several hundred Medicine Hat residents in May will receive a call asking them what they think is the most important issue facing the community, what their level of satisfaction is with garbage services and several other survey questions.
It’s part of a community survey the city has hired polling firm Ipsos to carry out, the city said in a statement Tuesday.
The polling will target those over 18 years old and run from May 6 to May 26, with an overall sample size of 400.
Staff say it will help provide city council and administration reliable data to better understand community sentiment around a variety of city topics that will inform decision-making.
