Stephen Andrew, Victoria City Councillor and candidate for Mayor of Victoria, released his campaign team’s informal survey results on the City of Victoria’s Missing Middle Housing initiative.
"I am extremely glad we launched this survey. In just a week we heard from over 550 people, with a variety of opinions on the proposed Missing Middle Housing initiative”, says Andrew. “This survey, and responses at this week’s public information sessions, show Victoria residents have a deep desire to be part of mayor and council’s decision-making. We have a community with a wide breadth and depth of experience, and we should always look to include those voices.”
The survey was managed by Andrew’s mayoral campaign team; duplicate entries and obvious fictitious responses were removed. The survey is in no way affiliated with the City of Victoria’s engagement efforts.
