Note: This survey is now closed. Thanks to everyone who participated!
Peg is a community indicator system that will track progress on economic, environment, cultural, social and other priorities in Winnipeg. United Way in partnership with the Institute for Sustainable Development, the Province of Manitoba, the City of Winnipeg, Health in Common and approximately 60 other partners from diverse sectors are committed to the development of Peg.
Peg will show:
- the current state of the community,
- what course the community is on, and
- how far it is from its vision for the future with respect to the indicators
This information will be accessible to community members, stakeholders, government officials and other interested parties to be used as a report card on how well we, as a community, are doing our job to make Winnipeg a better place for everyone to live.
While there are many different types of issues that can be looked at in the city, initially Peg will focus on poverty in Winnipeg. Right now, Peg is in the process of narrowing its list of poverty indicators from over 300 in number to a set of ten or less.
Enter: Urban Exchange.
Urban Exchange is a dynamic, two-way conversation between United Way and Winnipeggers about topics that are important to the community. The partnership between Peg and Urban Exchange was a natural fit. In the past year Urban Exchange participants have been asked to respond to several surveys and questions related to their perceptions of poverty in Winnipeg.
The information that we collect from this survey will be combined with information from various areas of focus and used to narrow and confirm the set of indicators that will be used on Peg. You can expect to see the results of this consultation in Fall of 2010.
We hope that you will take the time to tell us what you think of the proposed list of indicators. How well do they measure poverty? The survey should take you less than five minutes. There are no right or wrong answers. Please remember that your responses will be kept separate from any identifying information to protect your confidentiality.
