Who should complete this survey?

With this survey, we hope to get 1 response from the selected households that were living in Jasper at the time of the wildfire.

A household is a group of people who share a home and related costs as a single unit.

It can include families but does not include roommates who pay rent separately.

If you know that someone else in your household has already completed the survey, we ask that you don’t fill it out again.

If you were not living in Jasper at the time of the 2024 wildfire, we ask that you do not fill out this survey.

Trigger Warning

This survey touches upon heavy subjects such as damages, displacement, community barriers, mental health, and financial health which can be triggering for some respondents who have experienced trauma from this event.
