FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Quebec City tops poll of city services second year in a row


Burnaby, Mississauga, Sherbrooke, Oakville round out top five
Toronto, May 29th, 2012 In a sampling of opinion taken by The Forum Poll among Canadians 18 years of age and older who are residents of Canada's 30 largest cities, Quebec City topped the list for satisfaction with city services, both overall (52% very satisfied) and for almost all individual services. This is the second time Quebec City has earned this honour in our polling, having placed first (51%) in November 2011. Other cities which place in the top five overall include Burnaby BC (42%), Mississauga ON (39%), Sherbrooke QC (38%) and Oakville ON (37%). Burnaby has improved its score since last year (from 37% to 42%), as has Sherbrooke (34% to 38%), Richmond BC (22% to 27%), Gatineau QC (15% to 23%), Edmonton AB (17% to 21%), Hamilton ON (15% to 19%) and Winnipeg MB (11% to 15%). Canada's largest cities do not fare well on the overall measure. Toronto sports an overall satisfaction with services score of 20%, well below the average for all cities of 25%. Vancouver scores best, right at the 25% average, followed by Calgary (22%), Edmonton (21%), Ottawa (20%) and Toronto. For police services, Quebec City leads in satisfaction (60% very satisfied), followed by Sherbrooke and Oakville, at 53% each. Winnipeg suffers from the lowest satisfaction with police services (27% very satisfied). Sherbrooke led satisfaction scores for fire services (81%), Quebec City closely followed (79%), while Burlington and Laval tied for third highest satisfaction rating (73% each). Sudbury received the lowest score (57%). Sherbrooke and Quebec City also had the highest scores for ambulance and emergency medical services (65% and 63%, respectively), followed by Oakville and Laval (61% each). Sudbury and Gatineau tied for lowest score (43% each). For garbage collection and waste disposal, Quebec City had the top score (67%), a full 10 p.p. higher than next best cities Laval and Longeuil (57% each), and 12 p.p. higher than Markham (55%). Sudbury and Winnipeg had exceptionally low levels of satisfaction (37%).
