Vital Signs survey opens for input on quality of life

It’s been 20 years since the Victoria Foundation launched Vital Signs in Greater Victoria. The citizen survey and following report are key to checking with residents about the state of the region.

This year, Vital Signs is focused on 12 areas related to quality of life in the region, including housing, safety, wellness and belonging.

The 2025 theme is “Your Voice. Your Victoria!” It’s a reminder that each of us are part of a collective voice that can shape the region into the community we want.

“Each year, (the report) is used by sector leaders, decision-makers and the public alike to help steer the future of our community,” Victoria Foundation CEO Sandra Richardson said. “Our region faces complex and integrated challenges, and through the collective voices of our community, we can continue to identify and coordinate on solutions that will last far beyond the next 20 years.”

By filling out the survey online, residents are also eligible for a chance to win one of three Country Grocer gift cards. The survey opens today and runs until Friday, May 30 at noon.
