The public feedback survey gathered the opinions of more than 1,200 residents spread throughout the district’s member municipalities and electoral areas.

It asked respondents about their level of support for 16 different TNRD services provided to electoral areas and six provided to municipal residents.

The majority of respondents indicated either support or strong support for 14 of those services — including highs of 91 per cent (electoral areas) and 89 per cent (municipalities) for emergency preparedness, and 89 per cent (electoral areas) and 91 per cent (municipalities) for emergency preparedness.

The TNRD cost-shares transit services for certain electoral areas, but only 46 per cent either support or strongly support it. Thirty-one per cent said they were neither for no against the service, while 11 per cent were either against or strongly against it.
