Whitchurch-Stouffville residents have until June 12 to share their thoughts on how the Town is doing through the second annual Community Satisfaction Survey, which opened on May 21. The survey, available online or in person at Town Hall and the Leisure Centre, takes less than seven minutes to complete, and participants can enter a draw for a $100 gift card to a local business.
“Resident feedback is incredibly important to Council and helps shape the decisions we make for our community,” said Mayor Iain Lovatt. “This survey is an opportunity for residents to share what’s working well, where we can improve, and what matters most to them as Stouffville continues to grow.”
The survey asks about experiences with everything from parks and recreation to snow clearing and public safety, reflecting the Town’s 42 services. It ties into the 2022-2026 Strategic Plan’s seven pillars, including a town that grows, a town that moves, and a safe town. Chief Administrative Officer Sunny Bains noted that hearing from residents provides valuable insight to keep improving programs and services.
This year’s results will serve as a benchmark for tracking satisfaction over time, as the Town plans to repeat the survey every year. With the population expected to nearly double from 51,400 in 2021 to about 103,500 by 2051, knowing what residents value is becoming more important for planning.
The survey is open to all residents, business owners, and visitors. It can be found on the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville website. The draw for the $100 gift card will take place after the June 12 deadline.
