The City of Penticton is asking residents to take part in their first citizen's survey since 2001.

Simone Blais, the City's communication officer says the survey will be conducted over the next two weeks.

"The survey is 400 Penticton residents and it's going to be done via telephone. The results from that are going to be analyzed by the consultant and put forward through to council in a report"

The survey categories cover areas such as citizens’ perceptions on quality of life, satisfaction with various city services, preferred communications channels and what they would advise the City do when facing budget demands.

Residents who are not contacted by phone can participate by completing the online version.

You can access the survey here: http://www.penticton.ca/EN/main/community/citizen-survey.html

Citizens have until September 28th to complete the survey.

Survey findings will be presented to Council this fall.
