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)
