“BC COVID-19 SPEAK: Your story, our future” is a population health survey to understand citizen experiences, knowledge and actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Public health and government leaders have made significant decisions impacting every aspect of our lives in recent weeks. As we move through our pandemic response, we want to hear from you about how this has affected you, your family and your future.

This survey is the first of several activities that will strengthen our pandemic response and our understanding of the impacts of COVID-19 to date (social, economic, mental wellness and community wellness). Your input is important as we consider our plans to ease restrictions while keeping our citizens safe, especially those most vulnerable.

The province’s public health leaders have jointly developed this survey, including the chief medical health officers from each regional health authority, the deputy provincial health officer and the provincial health officer.
