Calgary’s Best Neighbourhoods

Do You Live in Calgary’s Best Neighbourhood?

 

Avenue magazine has launched its annual Best Neighbourhoods Survey. Working with Leger Marketing, Avenue’s unique in-depth survey invites all Calgarians to not only rate their own neighbourhood but also, tell us what makes a neighbourhood great.

 “We ask Calgarians how important factors such as friendliness, curb appeal, safety and tax assessment are to them,” says Avenue Editor, Käthe Lemon, “and then we use those answers to determine how to weight the responses and rank the characteristics of each community.”

 If you live in one of Calgary’s Best Neighbourhoods we want to hear about it. The survey is only open until February 28, 2012, so log on as soon as you can.  The survey can be found at AvenueCalgary.com/best-neighbourhoods-survey
