During the August 14 council meeting Open Air discussion, Heidi Baillargeon suggested the survey be posted after the uncommon festival; the town’s open air survey is now available at talk the burg.
Baillargeon was asked about surveying residents and answered that they have surveyed residents many times during Open Air.
the burg watch email to CAO Critchley was to request on what dates did admin/tourism dept. conduct Open Air surveys of Amherstburg residents/ratepayers?
Critchley: I believe that there have been several community surveys placed on Talk the Burg with respect to Open Air in the past but I do not have the precise dates. As you may know, Council has asked that a new survey be prepared and it will be issued in the Fall.
the burg watch: knowing the precise dates would be helpful for the public and for decision makers. a ‘talk the burg’ site search yielded no results.
Critchley: I am attaching copies of all surveys that we were able to locate regarding Open Air. I would note that we have surveyedvisitors to Open Air and the businesses inside and outside the footprint. We have not done a resident wide survey, however that is being prepared and will be done this year.
