cities
How well do young people think their city is doing on the issues that matter to them? We want to know.
From October 13 - December 7, 2020, our Pivot 2020 team will be conducting research about their city to find out. We’ll be working in 27 cities across Canada, surveying young people aged 15-29, interviewing community members, and collecting benchmark information from third party sources to help us understand current perceptions about living, working and playing in our cities and how we can adjust to improve our post-pandemic future.
Learn more about the 27 cities we'll be working in below.
