Burlington Community Foundation launches Vital Signs survey
The Burlington Community Foundation (BCF) has launched a digital survey for its 2025 Vital Signs report — the first in nearly a decade for the organization.
The survey will be conducted in addition to panel research done in partnership with Leger and measure 'vital indicators of community connection and wellness' such as housing, safety, belonging, living standards and quality of life, noted a media release.
The report will provide original data as well as a 'timely, hyperlocal snapshot' of the community, the release said.
The last Vital Signs report from the BCF was released in 2017, and at that time, showed an 'increased need' for mental health supports in the city as well as insights into the meaning of belonging in a community.
'This is a critical time to look at the connectedness and well-being of Burlington,' said Megan Tregunno, CEO of the foundation, in a statement. 'We need a real-time picture of how people are feeling and to understand the vital areas we can all collectively focus on.'
The release said the reports are also used to identify needs in the community, spur civic engagement and inform local decision-making for individuals, non-profit organizations, businesses and government.
The digital survey, which runs until midnight on June 11, can be accessed online at

There is also a QR code to access the survey, which is included on posters at Burlington Public Library branches, City of Burlington recreation centres and pools as well as at the Burlington FirstOntario Credit branches at 895 Brant St. and 4021 Upper Middle Rd.
The survey is open to Burlington residents and all participants are eligible to be entered into a prize draw. Those requiring assistance in completing the survey are asked to contact the BCF by calling
