Public Survey Report - What We Heard

The City of St. Albert launched the Community Social Needs Assessment project in April 2023 to learn more about what is important to residents and how we can better meet the community social needs of children/youth, families, adults and seniors.

The public participation took place from April to June 2023 and is now complete. An online survey collected data from residents, with 1,547 respondents providing information on what social issues were important to them and their perspectives on how we can better meet the social needs of those living in our community.

The project team spoke to more than 700 residents at various community pop-up and outreach sessions, with several residents providing written feedback to the City by email.

This input has provided the City with a better understanding of the community social needs of children, youth, families, adults and seniors in our growing and changing community. The information also gives us insight into how we can all work together as a community to address social issues.

The survey feedback has been summarized into the What We Heard Report.

Thanks to those who provided input. The survey information will be considered along with stakeholder and partner input, and community demographic analyses to inform the development of community strategies and initiatives to address social issues in our community.

The next phase of the project will involve a stakeholder engagement session and the development of a community social plan (roadmap) to support community wellbeing for residents now and in the future. Please monitor the page for further updates.
