Videos with Waterworks

Questions to Ask

• It was decided that we need a standardized form or set of questions to ask people at events (eg. BBQ) and on the website
• Agreed on three questions:
  • What is it like for you to live here?
  • What changes would you most like to see in Wetaskiwin?
  • How could you help this happen?
• We also need to develop a question regarding how people like to get their information / how can we get feedback from people who don’t use the website, attend events, etc.

ACTION: Develop feedback form

Possible Meetings

• It was proposed that wt meet with the Wetaskiwin Legion
• Suggested that Lucas schedule more meetings with various groups
• Teams may need to organize meetings outside of CAG to start setting goals / looking at feedback so far

ACTION: Mark to arrange meeting with the Legion (June 1st meeting)
ACTION: Contact identified groups and arrange presentations (Lucas)
