The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) thanks everyone who took the time to fill out the Rural Transfer Station Optimization Project public survey.

The results of the survey, conducted between January 13 and February 9, are now available for review.

We had 1,509 responses, with just under 71% of the respondents coming from the rural areas.

The rural transfer station system has not been changed significantly since the stations were first opened, and this is an opportunity for us to review all aspects of the rural transfer stations and understand how residents use the sites and what services are important to them.

This is a new project, and no decisions have been made yet, so getting such a strong response to the survey has been very helpful.

RDEK staff will present the results of this survey and seek direction from the regional Board of Directors during the March board meeting.

After that meeting, staff will seek further public feedback.
