Wednesday Feb 20th 4.30-6.30 pm
Laughing Bean / The Slocan
Present: Robin, Scott, Crystal, Sharon
Regrets: Kirsten
Agenda:
1) Assess the information we already have
2) Workshop the questionnaire itself
3) Develop a game-plan for conducting the survey
Minutes:
1) Information we have:
Crystal will have a list of all community members who have been contacted for the petition by the end of the week. This list will be divided into 3:
• those who have been contacted and have children (English and ESL)
• those who have been contacted and do not have children
• those who have still not been contacted
2) Survey:
The survey has 3 purposes: 1) to inform the community of our process, goals, and proposed program; 2) to determine the level of support for keeping garibaldi open and the proposed program; 3) to solicit further involvement from the community.
We workshopped the questionnaire and Robin will do it up, including a brief history of the process and a description of the proposed programming when it becomes available. Sharon will translate.
Robin will ask Gary re: the distinction between daycare for pre-school aged children and after-school care for those who are school-aged.
3) Game plan
Geography:
We have agreed to focus our efforts within the perimeter of Hastings, Nanaimo, 1st, and Renfrew. This is our priority. If individual surveyors are willing to go beyond these limits we welcome their enthusiasm!
Method:
- Begin with calling all those we have a phone number for.
- Scott will set up an online survey so that when we contact people by phone, we can enter all their info and responses directly into the online database. This way answers can be in a drop-down menu, the data gets complied immediately, and everyone involved in surveying can see who has been contacted and what remains to be done.
- Go door-to-door for the rest, assigning each person a street or set of streets. The surveyor will fill out the form while on the community member’s doorstep.
We would like the survey to be ready to go for Wednesday the 27th, the day after the Community Info meeting.
