Survey 3 – Greener special events

Introduction

Thank you for your interest in the review of special events regulations in the City of Ottawa.


Our first survey, conducted in March, asked general questions about special events in Ottawa. The second survey considered safety and inclusivity of events. This third survey focuses on sustainable environmental practices. It should take between two to five minutes to complete. Additional surveys on specific topics related to special events will follow in the coming months.


Just as a reminder, this survey is regarding outdoor events with more than 500 people and events that occur on City roadways. It does not include indoor events.
