The Victoria Foundation Launches the 2025 Vital Signs Survey
The Victoria Foundation has officially launched its 2025 Vital Signs survey, celebrating twenty years of providing a vital check-up on the quality of life within the Greater Victoria area. This annual survey serves as a community barometer, allowing residents to share their views on numerous aspects of living in the region.
What Residents Can Expect
Open to all inhabitants of Greater Victoria, the survey seeks feedback on twelve pivotal categories, such as housing, safety, health and wellness, and community engagement. Participants have the option to complete either a short or long version of the survey, with all entries entered into a draw for gift cards.

The Role of Community Voices
Richardson also mentioned the complexities facing the region:
‘Our region faces complex, interconnected challenges, and through the collective voices of our community, we can continue identifying and coordinating solutions that will carry us well beyond the next 20 years.’
