It has been more than two years since our last subreddit survey. In that time, our subreddit has quintupled in size, with new community members joining us.
In light of this, we asked those on the subreddit to fill out the 2021 r/Alberta Survey so that we can get a better sense the subreddit's userbase.
The previous results of the r/Alberta survey can be reviewed here.
The survey was hosted on Google Forms and the thread inviting community members to answer can be found here. Over a week and a half we received 852 responses.
