LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Thanks to our youth for taking time to do survey

Letter---Survey-Communities-That-Care-030421
Communities That Care chair Cathy Jewett is grateful for the nearly 900 responses to this year's survey.

Thank you to all the young-adult Whistler residents who took the time to fill in the [Communities that Care Whistler] survey. There were almost 900 of you! 

We appreciate your honesty and openness and would like to reassure you that the responses are completely anonymous. 

We are grateful for the support of Whistler Community Services Society, the survey’s sponsor. 

Thank you to the businesses and organizations that supported us: Cross Country Connection, Resort Municipality of Whistler, TNT Tattoo + Barber, Coastal Culture, Vallea Lumina and Epic Promise. 

Congratulations to Montana who won the grand prize and to all the daily winners—don’t forget to pick up your prizes!

To Kate [Heskett], who wrote last week [Pique, Feb. 25, “Question the questions.”], thank you for your thoughtful letter and providing us with this perspective. We do have stakeholders on our board from health and social services that vetted these questions and asked that they be included, so that they can work towards serving the diverse needs of Whistler’s young adults. 

We are now working on the data and will have a report out in early summer. It will be available to the public, stakeholders, and service providers on our website www.ctcwhistler.ca.

Communities That Care Whistler will use the information to guide our advocacy and resources towards supporting young adults in Whistler. 

Cathy Jewett // Chair, Communities That Care Whistler
