The City of Cranbrook has launched a new statistically valid public safety survey to help with the 2026 budget process.
The statistically valid survey was sent to 1,600 random citizens, but an online survey for the general public is also open.
This is building off a survey the city did last year which showed residents felt homelessness, crime and safety were the most pressing issues facing the community.
“One of the most important parts of this process was reviewing and responding to last year’s public comments to ensure every single one was read and considered,” said Mayor Wayne Price.
“The survey required a great deal of time and effort, with input from Council and staff, to carefully review and respond. I hope everyone takes time to read the responses to their comments and know that when they share their thoughts, council listens.”
The survey was developed with the Cranbrook RCMP, and criminal and social justice students at the College of the Rockies.
The online open survey can be found here and will run until Sept. 19.
