Parks district volunteer presents initial survey results

During their regular monthly meeting on June 12, the Point Roberts Park and Recreation District discussed preliminary results from the recent survey that was conducted to gather feedback from the community. The purpose of the survey was to identify the most utilized amenities by the public and gather suggestions for future improvements.

At the time of the meeting, a total of 268 individuals had completed the survey online, with an additional 30 participants opting for the paper version. Grace Wilkowski, a volunteer who has been managing the survey, described the response as impressive, given the population of Point Roberts. She told commissioners that the survey will remain open until Wednesday, July 5.

The compiled data will be presented at the park district’s meeting scheduled for August 14. Commissioner Michael Cressy expressed optimism, stating, “Hopefully this survey will give the community a bit of a voice and will give us some direction as we are going forward and making decisions.”

The parks district encourages any remaining community members – including seasonal residents – to complete the survey if they have not already done so. The survey can be found online at bit.ly/3pNSyh3, and paper copies are available at the community center.
