Calgarians Report Increased Satisfaction with Quality of Life

A recent survey conducted by the City of Calgary indicates a growing sense of satisfaction among residents regarding their quality of life. The fall 2023 survey, which gathered responses from nearly 2,500 individuals, found that 71% of participants rated their quality of life as good, marking an increase of approximately five percent from the previous year.

The survey results also reveal a notable rise in trust towards city governance. Almost half of the respondents expressed confidence in the City of Calgary, an improvement compared to last year’s figures. This increase in public trust coincides with the overall positive sentiment regarding living conditions in the city.

Infrastructure as a Primary Concern

Despite the positive feedback, residents have highlighted specific areas needing attention. The most pressing issue identified by respondents was the need for improvements in infrastructure, traffic management, and road conditions. Nearly 40% of those surveyed pointed to these concerns as critical priorities for the city administration.

The survey results provide valuable insight into the evolving perceptions of Calgarians. As the city continues to develop and address infrastructure needs, the feedback from residents may guide future policies and initiatives. The City of Calgary’s commitment to engaging with its residents demonstrates a willingness to adapt and respond to community feedback, fostering a deeper relationship between the city and its inhabitants.

As Calgary moves forward, the challenge will be to maintain and enhance the quality of life while addressing the infrastructure concerns raised by its residents. The data from this fall survey will likely serve as a benchmark for future evaluations, providing a clearer picture of the city’s progress and areas needing improvement.
