About this survey

This short public survey will be open before, during, and after the Summit so you can participate even if you cannot attend in person. We know many residents have already shared feedback through the 2025 Hamilton Community Safety Survey (funded by Hamilton Police Service; conducted by Wilfrid Laurier University), the City’s Downtown safety and vibrancy work, and the Community Safety & Well-Being (CSWB) Plan. This survey adds to that input and gives you another way to share or update your views. Your responses help the City and partners understand what is happening across neighbourhoods, highlight needs and opportunities, and support practical next steps across programs and services.
