Survey

Past public engagement

Since the Winter Maintenance Zone (WMZ) program was introduced, we’ve consistently engaged with the community to understand what’s working and where improvements are needed. This has included thousands of survey responses and in-person conversations with residents across Fort McMurray.

That feedback has provided a clear and consistent picture of what the community expects. While not all input has led to changes each year, it has played an important role in shaping current recommendations and highlighting where bigger changes may be needed across the RMWB.

Here is an overview of past public engagement activities:
