January 2025 Newsletter​

Results of the latest HRM survey of residents have been released. At least one councillor observed that the survey is racially biased in that 90% of respondents are white. It is also biased by age with those under 24 underrepresented (2% respondents vs 11% of the population) and seniors over-represented (32% of respondents vs 21% of the population). We don’t know if the sampling was seriously biased in other dimensions as that data is not provided. In the Advocacy section, more problems with the survey are exposed.
