Be heard: VCH and City of Vancouver Sustainable Housing survey

As a large employer in Vancouver, we have an opportunity to inform the City of Vancouverโ€™s housing sustainability strategy that will impact Metro Vancouver citizens and VCH staff, VCHโ€™s recruiting efforts and future generations.

Lead change

Your participation in this short sustainable housing survey, conducted on behalf of EY consulting services (formerly Ernst & Young), is important and the results will be used to help the City of Vancouver develop a sustainable housing proposal that includes input from VCH staff who work and/or live in Greater Vancouver.

The survey should only take approximately 5 minutes to complete and includes questions related to your current housing situation and affordability. Your responses will be kept completely anonymous.

Help spread the word!

All staff who live and/or work in the Vancouver area are asked to complete the survey. Help spread the word to your colleagues: Sustainable Housing Survey for VCH Employees

Enter to win

To be entered to win one of ten giveaways, VCH mugs and umbrellas, courtesy of the VCH Commuter Centre, take the survey now and enter your name and email address below.

The survey will remain open until December 15, 2016.

    there is a benefit to live in Vancouver for its accessibility , in order to be able to house more people and work force in Vancouver, to make it affordable, there should be more initiatives from government and its partners to build more affordable housing units in Vancouver. With less need for commuting to work by vehicles, it will make the city of Vancouver greener !

    It’s nice that the VCH is doing a survey on housing. It’ll become a bigger issue as each year passes. At some point a lot of employees will realize they can’t afford to live in the city they work and maybe there will a mass exodus of health care specialist before the government gets truly involved and does something to keep people living in the city they work in.
