Action priorities : Survey results

Since the goal of an association is to represent its community as accurately as possible, we wanted to get a fair picture of what ours considers important. We therefore invited the river surfers of Greater Montreal to fill out a questionnaire en ligne from July 5th to July 22nd. The goal: to guide our short-term actions and get an idea of those we will need to implement in the long term.

SOMMAIRE

Voici un aperçu des résultats des 142 réponses reçues.

FREQUENCY OF PRACTICE

To identify the surf spots frequented by the community in order to prioritize our area of intervention and/or determine if we need to recruit people at a spot that hasn’t been mentioned much.

EXPERIENCE

Understand the practice and the relationship people have with river surfing.

If the majority of respondents surf more than once a week and all prioritize the same thing, it can "set" the tone and direction to follow. It’s possible that occasional surfers have the same needs as regular surfers, but this would be a good way to find out. Additionally, if we ever need to use our results to support a request, this information could become relevant.
