• 400 interviews were conducted with Edmontonians between June 21 and June 29, 2016, on the internet via secured access to the online questionnaire hosted on Leger’s servers.
• Email invitations were sent to residents of Edmonton from Leger’s Web Panel inviting respondents to participate in an important study. Emails were embedded with a unique identifier to ensure that each respondent was able to complete the survey only one time.
Data Collection
• Residents of the City of Edmonton aged 18 years or older.
Target Respondents
• The survey was completed using Leger’s web panel. Panel collection methods conform to The Marketing Research and Intelligence Association’s standards and best practices.
• The data were weighted to be representative of the opinions of Edmontonians.
• As a non random internet survey, a margin of error is not reported (margin of error accounts for sampling error). Had these data been collected using a probability sample, the margin of error would have been ±4.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Leger was contracted by the Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) to conduct a survey
with Edmontonians regarding various aspects of life in Edmonton. This report compares
results of the 2016 survey to the previous waves conducted by Leger in 2015 and 2014.

Summary of Findings
Three-in-five (60%) Edmontonians feel that their quality of life is very good/excellent, trending downward since 2014.
Consistent with 2015, Edmontonians are most likely to agree that Edmonton is a culturally diverse city (87% agree), that
there are adequate opportunities for sports/recreation (82% agree) and that Edmonton is a city that values the arts (77%
agree).
Agreement with the statement “there are adequate opportunities for sports/recreation” has declined slightly in
2016 and have gone back to 2014 ratings after a spike in 2015.
With the tough economic environment, agreement that there are adequate job opportunities in Edmonton is significantly
lower in 2016 (49% in 2016, 69% in 2015) . On the other hand, reduced property prices and increased rental availability
have translated into a significantly higher ratings for easy to find affordable housing in (30% in 2016, 21% in 2015).
The proportion of Edmontonians who agree that Edmonton is an environmentally friendly city is forming a downward
trend since 2014.
While the vast majority of Edmontonians (86%) continue to feel safe in their homes, the proportion has significantly
decreased from 92% in 2015. A lesser proportion feel safe in their community (80%, consistent with 2015) and in
Edmonton in general (68%, again significantly lower than 77% in 2015).
The lower proportion of Edmontonians feeling safe may be attributed to the increased crime rates in Edmonton
(http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/edmonton-murder-rate-matches-record-high/article29740400/).

Q15a. In your opinion, what are the biggest challenges facing refugees in Edmonton? Q16a. In your opinion, what are the biggest
challenges facing immigrants in Edmonton?
“Finding affordable
housing and finding
employment that's
above the minimum
wage.”
“Affordable housing, Education
(learning English), Health care
(finding a doctor).”
“Finding employment
during tough economic
times and a portion of
locally born Albertans
looking down on them
due to language
difficulties.”
“Learning to speak, read,
and understand English.
Learning that this is
CANADA, not whatever
country they left and that it
is time to learn and adapt
CANADIAN cultural norms.”
“Learning English
and learning our
cultural nuances
are probably the
most difficulties
immigrants will
face.”
“Dealing with mental
health and loneliness
issues.”
“People coming from such dissimilar countries, belief
systems, experiences, governments and cultures may
find learning our way of life hard work. Learning English
is also hard work.”
“Bias from existing
citizens; language;
ability to work.”
“Failure to integrate with people
living in the city. Too many want
to turn their new home into the
place they left.”
“Understanding
how to access
services they
need such as
doctors,
recreation
opportunities and
education.”
Challenges Facing Refugees Challenges Facing Immigrants
“Public perception that government
shouldn't be spending money to
bring them here. That they are
stealing jobs from Canadians,
racism, general ignorance about
what refugees really are.”
“Integration,
recognition of
foreign
credentials when
getting jobs.”
