What: Understanding Resident Happiness and Community Wellbeing across British Columbia

Why: The aim of the research is to measure resident happiness and community wellbeing in British Columbia through an online survey. 

Who’s involved: The survey is administered by Planet Happiness and the Thompson-Okanagan Tourism Association to assist with measuring British Columbia Regional Tourism Secretariat’s (BCRTS) efforts to meet UN Sustainable Development Goals and to support recovery efforts in the region due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Your Participation and Privacy: The survey is anonymous and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Your initial agreement to consent to participate does not obligate you in any way to complete the survey and you can withdraw from the study at any time without any negative repercussions. Your responses will be eliminated from the database.

In terms of your privacy, we follow the European Union's Protection of Personal Data Directive 2016/679, the strongest code we know of for protecting personal data. In simple language: your personal information will never be sold; your data will be used at the aggregate level for the purposes of the study only; all of your responses will be anonymous; data is only kept for a period of five years in a secure password-protected computer. 
























By taking the survey, your happiness counts towards a national database and you contribute to the Happiness Movement globally.
