The vast majority (71%) also reported being satisfied with the Town’s overall performance in providing municipal services.

It should be noted that similar studies were conducted by True North for the Town in 2009 and 2011. Because there is a natural interest in tracking the Town’s performance in meeting the evolving needs of its residents, where appropriate the results of the current study are compared with the results of identical questions included in the 2009 and 2011 studies.
