Auditor General launches public survey as part of the Audit of Recreational and Cultural Programming

November 5, 2026

Ottawa – Today, Auditor General Nathalie Gougeon launched a public survey to obtain feedback from Ottawa residents as part of the Office of the Auditor General's (OAG) Audit of Recreational and Cultural Programming.

As part of the audit, the OAG is seeking feedback from residents to better understand their awareness of, access to, and satisfaction with recreational and cultural programming offered by the City of Ottawa. The survey also provides an opportunity for residents who have not participated in City programs to share their perspectives and identify any barriers to participation.

“Resident feedback is an important component of this audit and will help provide valuable insight into how Ottawa residents experience recreational and cultural programming at the City”, said M^me Gougeon.

“The survey will help the OAG better understand residents' awareness of and access to these programs, factors that may influence participation and potential areas for the City to improve”, added M^me Gougeon.

The survey will take approximately 5 to 7 minutes to complete and is available on the OAG's Engage Ottawa page to take the survey.

The survey will remain open until November 26, 2026. Survey responses will be confidential, but may be summarized in the Auditor General's report, which is expected to be presented to the Audit Committee in the second quarter of 2027.
