We are pleased to announce that the analysis of the province-wide survey of the BCGREA membership is complete.
The survey ran from December 6th, 2021, to January 22, 2022. The purpose of the survey was to collect data regarding the activities that are a priority for members, and what communication tools and frequency of communications are preferred by members when receiving information from the Association.
The Membership Survey Report can be downloaded in two versions:
- Complete BCGREA Membership Survey Report (PDF)
- Streamlined BCGREA Membership Survey Report – comments removed (PDF)
Individual branch survey reports may be found on the branch webpages. Find your branch.
