Forms • Woodstove Program Survey

Community Wood Smoke Reduction Program (CWSRP) Participant Survey

Why are we doing a survey?

• To get feedback on the program from the public, especially CWSRP participants
• To use this feedback to improve our program.

What do we want to find out?

• How can we encourage more exchanges of old wood stoves (accessibility of program; are program requirements viewed as complex, what are the reasons that people participate)?
• What is the best way to provide education on good burning practices (feedback on BC pilot education project)?

How will the information from the survey be used to improve the program (or other goals)?

The information from the survey will be summarized by the local coordinator (BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy (ENV) will provide a template for summary table) and submitted to ENV and BC Lung. The information will be used to help achieve:

o More removal of old uncertified wood stoves
o Better awareness of good burning practices
o Reduction in wood smoke pollution
