In 2023, after an in-depth review of the historic program, BC Parks relaunched the survey with an updated questionnaire. In 2024, we\u2019re running the survey again with a few improvements based on your feedback from last year and some new questions targeting our marine visitors. Going forward, we are committed to conducting the visitor satisfaction survey at regular intervals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contribution\">How your contribution makes a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal is to better understand the experiences of residents and visitors who use parks across the province. Through this survey, we hope to learn more about who is visiting parks, what activities they enjoy while visiting, what they like about parks, and where there is room for improvement. This information will be used to support future decision-making, training, and funding for facilities, trails, and other initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"results\">2023 results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To see the results from last year, check out:\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/bcparks.ca\/about\/reports-surveys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reports and surveys &#8211; Province of British Columbia | BC Parks<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related engagements<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"related-engagements\">\n                                    <div class=\"govtogether-engagement-card\" aria-label=\"Engagement title: Mount Seymour Provincial Park Recreation Facility Plan.
