Residents are encouraged to participate in the census once they receive their Secure Access Pin (SAP) that will arrive to their household via regular post. If you have not received your SAP in the mail, please call the MD at 780.849.4888 Ext. 225.
Participants Eligible to Win a $500 Gift Card
Residents who complete their census survey online before May 15, 2024, will be entered into a draw to win a $500 Visa gift card. The census questionnaire asks for basic information such as age, gender, and the number of people in the home.
