Grand opening
celebration The Town of Strathmore citizen survey con-
ducted earlier this year was presented to
Strathmore town council during their regular
Page 15 council meeting on Sept. 5. The survey was
available via an online form or by paper copies
available in April, May and June.
Out of over 13,500 households that could
have participated in the survey, only 787 survey
responses were received.
“This (citizen survey) included various mat-
ters within the community, from cannabis to
recreational to cultural needs. Every resident
was given the opportunity to participate in

Strathmore’s manager of legislative services.

sponded to the survey, they did not necessarily
answer every question.
Survey results indicated the top three most
important services the town provides its resi-
dents is road maintenance, utilities and protec-
tive services. Social services, youth program-
ming and community grants were among the
RE/MAX FIRST least important.
