About This Year’s Surveys
Over the past year, AAISA worked with settlement and integration organizations across Alberta to redesign its Sector Survey through consultations, interviews, pilot testing, and sector feedback.
The redesign was informed by a review of five years of survey data (2019–2024), AAISA’s most recent Sector Survey Evaluation, and comparable sector-wide surveys. Questions that support long-term trend tracking were retained, while others were updated to better reflect current sector realities and emerging priorities.
For the first time, separate surveys have been developed for management and frontline staff, creating a clearer picture of organizational and client-facing experiences across the sector.
The result is a shorter, more focused survey that captures the information organizations told us matters most, while strengthening AAISA’s ability to bring reliable sector data to planning, advocacy, and funding discussions.
