A survey to analyze the impact of the transfer of federal employees living in Prescott and Russell to the West end of the City Ottawa
L’Orignal (Ontario), April 30, 2012 - The United Counties of Prescott and Russell (UCPR) invite federals employees living in the region to take part in a telephone and on-line survey set up as part of its study to understand the impact of the transfer of thousands of public servants from the Department of National Defence and RCMP to the West end of the City of Ottawa.
Following a consensus among the eight mayors to conduct a study on the impact of the transfer of federal employees, the UCPR retained the services of Natural Resource Capital to gather data and analyze as quickly as possible the impacts and potential issues for the region. The study aims to develop a better understanding of current commuting patterns of the residents concerned as well as modes of travel, travel times and influences on commuting choices and behaviors related to relocation. The study will allow the UCPR to gain a better understanding of the factors that could influence future choices by the population affected.
Starting May 1st, more than 400 targeted homes in the region will be invited to answer a telephone survey in order to create a profile of the citizens concerned. An online survey will also be available at http://app.fluidsurveys.com/s/UCPR/
“We hope that residents will be receptive and respond in large numbers since the survey results will chart a clear picture of the situation while enabling us to act accordingly to ensure sustainable growth for the region,” said François St-Amour, Warden of the UCPR.
The Corporation of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell is a regional government that manages programs and offers services to its 85,000 residents. Prescott and Russell encompass eight municipalities and cover 2,002 km2. Economic development is a priority and a reflection of their motto “Moving Towards Prosperity”.
