PlaceSpeak Contribution
PlaceSpeak provided an online platform including a survey and dialogue about international enrollment and cross-boundary applications. PlaceSpeak also served the City of Vancouver’s Parks and Recreation division by soliciting feedback on the use of public facilities close to schools and in neighbourhoods.
Project Outcome
The directions obtained from this input were used to create a framework for consultation that will continue to occur both in public meetings and online through PlaceSpeak.
