And The Survey Says……….

BY KATRINA WEITHMAN, AGM

As Richard Dawson would announce in the big money round of the famed game show, Family Feud, “And the survey says”, PFCCA is announcing the same catch phrase. In 2022 we conducted a survey that was mailed to each resident and available online for the residents to fill out and return. The goal of the survey was to take the pulse of the community after many properties changed hands during the COVID boom. The questions were agreed upon between the Recreation, Communications and Long-Range Planning committees in collaboration with the management team. Below are a few findings from the survey:

We are pleased to announce that we have now completed both projects and their grand openings were held in June! We encourage all residents to visit these beautiful locations with your family and friends!
