Citizen Feedback in 2023: What Cities Need to Know

22 November 2023

For the first time, our City Index is available across Canada! This unique study helps you listen to your citizens’ concerns and improve the services your city offers to the public based on real citizen feedback. Need help with your social media strategy? Our Digital Audit might come in handy.  

Cities and Social Media Key Highlights

  • In the past 12 months, 68% of Canadians have used social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, etc.) to get information about their municipality’s activities and announcements.
  • 13% have commented negatively about their city administration on social media and 12% have shared negative comments.​
  • 12% have used social media to contact their municipality directly or report a problem and 34% of them find their municipality not responsive enough.

Today, social media plays an indispensable role for cities. Mastering social media platforms is essential to foster effective communication with your citizens and build positive relationships.
