Initial Vancouver Plan Survey Results

The Vancouver Plan survey was active from November 2019 until mid-March 2020. The survey was designed to capture a picture of the current challenges and hopes of those who live, work and play in Vancouver; as well as those who want to do so.

In total, there were nearly 9,800 responses with close to 50,000 open ended questions answered – this was an incredible response! Your contributions have greatly helped to inform our understanding of major priorities areas and concerns for the residents, businesses and community partners. We thank each of you for taking the time to share your voices and opinions with us.

The survey was made available online in five languages: English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Punjabi, and Tagalog. A diverse multi-lingual team made up of experienced community organizers used the survey to engage with communities around the City such as Chinatown, South Vancouver, Downtown Eastside, Strathcona and Kitsilano.

Key findings highlighted peoples hopes and fears for future generations and what they felt are the city's most urgent issues to address.
