The Calgary Foundation conducts an annual check-up that measures the vitality of our community, sparks discussion, encourages connections and inspires action in 12 interconnected areas critical to our quality of life.
Graders gave their own quality of life a “B+” and, over four years of reporting, have steadily increased the average grade given to Calgary quality of life issues. Environmental Sustainability was the only issue to receive a lower grade in 2011, falling from a B- in 2010 to a C+. Two new issue areas were introduced this year - Neighbourhoods & Aging Population.
This year, over 1,000 citizens completed the online survey assigning grades and providing their views on “What’s Working” and “What’s Not” for each of the 12 issue areas. The enthusiasm and insights of the graders generated over 8,800 citizen comments.
