We also contact Calgarians by telephone or email to complete surveys or attend in person focus groups on specific topics. For these research activities, participants are selected at random to ensure we hear from a variety of Calgarians. If you get a call or an email, please take the time to provide your honest feedback.

There are also many public engagement opportunities for Calgarians to provide their thoughts and opinions on specific topics. To learn more, please visit Engage.Calgary.ca
