We acknowledge that Lake Country is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation. Our community recognizes the enduring presence of the Syilx people and their deep connection to this land.

PURPOSE

The Lake Country Community Health and Well-Being Survey invites residents to share their recent experiences with factors that shape health and wellness, including social connections, economic stability, environmental conditions, and access to primary and community care.

Your input will help create a clear, data-driven picture of health and well-being in Lake Country. The results will reflect resident voices and will guide community-driven initiatives and partnerships to create a healthier, more equitable community here in Lake Country.
