Thank you for taking the time to complete the summer questions of the week so our summer newsletter could serve as a way to collect input on improving engagement. Fall newsletters will go back to updating you on opportunities to engage. As we move forward, we will continue to look for new and interesting ways to ask for your feedback as we carry on improving public engagement. Question of the Week 4 Results We compared results from this year to last year in response to how many of you have participated, what your experience was like, and if not, why. We received less responses this year and we will take that into consideration when determining future methods for gathering input on public engagement.  2017 2018 195 responses 110 had participated before; 85 had not. Most of those who had participated found their experience meaningful or somewhat meaningful (69 of 105). Most common reasons for not participating:  I wasn't informed about the engagement event (26 out of 85) and No specific reason (26 out of 85). 92 responses 85 had participated before; 7 had not Most of those who had participated found their experience meaningful or somewhat meaningful (66 out of 84) Most common reason for not participating: No specific reason (3 out of 7) If you have other questions or ideas about engagement, please contact City-Engage@winnipeg.ca.
