The Oakridge Community Engagement Survey gathered insights from residents to understand their priorities, concerns, and satisfaction with community programs. Overall, residents appreciate Oakridge’s strong community spirit, mature trees, and extensive parks and pathways. The Oakridge Community Association (OCA) is valued for its role in organizing events and maintaining community spaces, with engagement levels improving since the last survey in 2021.

Residents expressed interest in more diverse events, such as winter festivals, outdoor concerts, and volunteer-driven initiatives. They also called for improved communication through digital newsletters and social media. Moving forward, the OCA aims to explore new ways to engage and support members concerns while preserving Oakridge’s unique community feel.

Now, we need your voice and participation to turn these insights into action! View the full survey results today to see what your neighbours had to say and discover how we can work together to make Oakridge even better.
