Official title: City Influencers

Open Policy & Studies Housing & Communities
St. John's wants to hear from young adults aged 18-30 on city issues. Sign up for City Influencers and you'll get quick surveys on topics like transit, housing, events, and downtown planning. It's voluntary, takes just minutes, and you might win prizes.

Why This Matters

Live in St. John's and under 30? The city actually wants your opinion. Past surveys have shaped decisions on transit, housing, and summer events. This is one of the few ways young people can directly influence local policy without attending boring meetings.

What Could Change

Your feedback shapes city decisions on transit routes, downtown development, recreation programs, and waste services. Past surveys have already influenced Metrobus planning and summer event programming. The city uses this input when making budget and policy choices.

Key Issues

  • What city topics matter most to young adults aged 18-30?
  • How can the city make it easier for youth to participate in local decisions?
  • What improvements do young people want for transit, housing, and city services?
