The Acadia Community Association and the Federation of Calgary Communities are interested in learning about how you and your community members feel about living in your neighbourhood. We would like to ask you a few simple questions specific to Acadia.

This survey will collect data regarding how you feel about your neighbourhood and the quality of life it provides. The results you provide us with will be compiled and statistically analyzed and shared with you and your community.

Please give the following questions your close and honest attention so that we can assess social cohesion statistics within neighbourhoods.

We value your feedback and thank you in advance for your completion of the survey in its entirety. It should only take about five (5) minutes.

We are offering a random draw for a $25 Tim Hortons gift card to those who complete the survey with name and email address. All entries providing this information will be eligible.

This survey will close on June 30, 2013.
