Executive Summary

Parks Canada protects and presents nationally significant examples of Canada's natural and cultural heritage on behalf of the people of Canada, and fosters public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment in ways that ensure the ecological and commemorative integrity of these places for present and future generations.

The Parks Canada Visitor Satisfaction Survey aimed to gather feedback from Canadians about their experiences and satisfaction with operations during their visit to national parks and/or national historic sites or waterways during the 2022 operating season. Results will be used for performance measurement.

The study employed a probability-based, online survey administered to a national sample of adult Canadians 18 years of age and older who had visited a national park or national historic site/waterway during the summer of 2022. The survey, which took approximately 4 and a half minutes to complete, was conducted from September 2 to September 22, 2022, using a multi-stage approach (phone to web recruitment). The data was weighted to the type of location visited (national park, national historic site/waterway) and the geographic region of the visit, using actual visitation volumes by region provided by Parks Canada.

A total of 1,019 Canadians completed the survey, with a response rate of 31.6 % and a margin of error of +/- 3.1 % at the national scale (19 times out of 20, at a 95 % confidence interval). The total cost of the study was $46,369.42 including taxes.

1.0 Background and objectives

Parks Canada protects and presents nationally significant examples of Canada's natural and cultural heritage on behalf of the people of Canada, and fosters public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment in ways that ensure the ecological and commemorative integrity of these places for present and future generations.

In a typical year, Parks Canada undertakes self-administered onsite paper surveys (randomly sampled visitors from mid-May to mid-October) at select parks/sites to acquire feedback and measure performance. Parks Canada receives between 10,000 and 20,000 returned surveys annually depending on participating locations.

Due to COVID-19, onsite intercept surveys, in paper or electronic format, were not feasible during the 2022 season. An alternative approach was sought to acquire feedback and measure performance. Parks Canada does not maintain a contact database of visitors. Therefore, it sourced a third party (Advanis) to find those in the general population that had visited a national park or national historic site during the designated operating season between mid-June and early September 2022. The survey aimed to collect feedback on:

2.0 Methodology

Parks Canada sought a probability-based sample of 1,000 Canadians aged 18 and older drawn from the general population who had visited a national park and/or national historic site during the summer of 2022. Rather than sampling by specific province and territory, the study aimed for regional distributions to match actual visitation patterns provided by Parks Canada. The probability-based study was conducted using a two-step approach where respondents were recruited by telephone to participate in an online web survey.

2.1 Survey Design

The survey was designed by Parks Canada and programmed by Advanis ensuring all required Government of Canada standards for public opinion research were met. These requirements included but were not limited to notifications regarding privacy and voluntary participation, options for participation by those with accessibility challenges, adaptability of content based on device (e.g., smartphone, laptop screen). Standards for pre-testing were also adhered to, with a pretest conducted in both English and French. The pretest was conducted between September 2 and September 6, 2022. A total of 170 people were recruited by telephone, and 35 pretests were completed online (17 French and 18 English).

2.2 Sampling and Administration

The target audience for this project was Canadians, across all provinces and territories, who were 18 years and older who visited a national park and/or national historic site during the summer of 2022. The goal was to achieve a distribution by region and by type of location visited similar to actual visitation numbers provided by Parks Canada for the 2022 season.

Table 1: Sample plan by region of visit
Region Target population Margin of error (19 times out of 20)
Atlantic 94 +/- 10.11 %
Central 462 +/- 4.56 %
Prairie 36 +/- 16.33 %
West/North 408 +/- 4.85 %
Total 1,000 +/- 3.1 %

Table 2: Sample plan by type of location visited
Type Target population Margin of error (19 times out of 20)
National park 623 +/- 3.93 %
National historic site/waterway 377 +/- 5.05 %
Total 1,000 +/- 3.1 %

This probability-based study was conducted using a multi-stage approach. In the first phase (recruitment phase), Advanis added questions about national park visitation (whether they visited a Parks Canada location during the summer of 2022) to its internal research running within the general population. Respondents were randomly invited to participate in the internal study by telephone – both landline and mobile phones. During the computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI), participants were asked for permission to send them a link to their mobile phone via short message service (SMS). Once the participant completed the online survey, their responses to the park screener question were analyzed to determine the potential pool for the Parks Canada questions. Respondents were also asked for the specific place visited to ensure there was no confusion between national and provincial parks or historic sites under other levels of jurisdiction. In total, approximately 25,000 people responded to the national park visitation question and 4,387 mentioned having visited a Parks Canada location in the summer of 2022. The incidence rate of national park or national historic site/waterway visitors was approximately 17.5 %.

During phase two, participants identified in the previous internal analysis (visited a national park or a national historic site/waterway during the summer of 2022) were recruited over the phone to participate in the Parks Canada Visitor Satisfaction Survey. Those who agreed to participate were sent an invitation by SMS or email if requested. When a voicemail was reached, Advanis automatically sent an invitation to take part in the online survey to those who had previously agreed to participate in these studies. Invitations were grouped by province, to ensure that they were sent out during appropriate hours within each time zone. In total, 4,387 phone numbers were called between September 2 and September 15, 2022, and 3,810 people were recruited to the survey, meaning 86.8% of people called received an invitation.

Each online survey had a unique number embedded in participant hyperlinks to eliminate the possibility of duplicate responses from any one participant. After sending initial invitations, reminder messages were sent three days later to applicants who had not yet completed a survey or were not screened out of the survey. A maximum of two reminder messages was sent. Overall, 7,662 invitations and reminders were sent during the data collection period (Table 3).

4 Reminder 1 (FR) 282
5 Reminder 2 (EN) 1,015
6 Reminder 2 (FR) 226
Total 7,662

2.3 Weighting and Data Cleaning

This study focused on people who had visited a national park/national historic site during the 2022 summer season. There is no known ‘population’ of Canadian visitors and those who visit a particular national park/national historic site vary by a range of circumstances. Given this there was no possible comparison (nor was it necessary to compare to the Canadian population) to determine weights or response bias. Rather, the final sample of 1,019 was weighted based on the type of location visited (national park, national historic site/waterway) and the geographic region visited. This was done using actual visitation volumes by region provided by Parks Canada for the 2021 season, 2022 numbers were not available.


Table 4: Number of completes, by region of visit
Region of visit Target population Completed (unweighted) Completed (weighted)* Margin of error
(19 times out of 20)
Atlantic 94 130 96 +/- 8.6 %
Central 462 417 471 +/- 4.8 %
Prairie 36 63 37 +/- 12.3 %
West/North 408 409 416 +/- 4.9 %
Total 1,000 1,019 1,019 +/- 3.1 %
*Note: The numbers for the weighted base does not sum to exactly 1,019 due to rounding.

Table 5: Number of completes, by type of location visited

National Historic Sites/Waterway 377 284 384 +/- 5.82 %
Total 1,000 1,019 1,019 +/- 3.1 %

Overall, 3,810 Canadians were invited to participate and 1,019 surveys were completed during the data collection period (Table 6). A total of 581 participants were screened out for various reasons (Table 7). The response rate was 31.6 % among eligible respondents and the overall margin of error was +/- 3.1 %, at a 95 % confidence interval (Table 6). The average survey length was around 4 minutes and a half.

Inclusive participation is a requirement of public opinion research conducted by the Government of Canada. Online surveys are programmed to adapt to different devices (e.g., laptops, iPads, smartphones), large tables of scaled questions on a screen are limited (i.e., difficult to navigate on some devices and by screen readers), and the needs of ability devices (e.g., screen readers, use of tab-key functions to navigate screens) are addressed through programming. Alternative survey formats (e.g., interviews) were also available upon request. The accessibility measures Advanis put in place addressed the needs of participants who may have had different needs, as no one requested alternative formats of participation.

All demographic and derived variables used in the analysis and/or weighting were included in the dataset. All open-ended question responses were coded to general themes and aggregated when the theme represented at least one percent of total responses for the question. Original and coded verbatim responses were maintained in the dataset. All questions were crossed with themed categories to provide insight into the results. The themes included the type of location visited, the region of location visited, age, and gender. Final banner tables included unweighted and weighted frequencies and percentages for each variable.

2.4 Quality Control

Advanis employs a number of quality control measures to ensure success across the entire life cycle of the project. These measures are detailed below.

Survey Programming: Advanis utilizes technology to maximize quality control in survey programming. Having developed a proprietary survey engine tool, Advanis professionals are able to design and program a survey in a browser-based environment, eliminating the need to involve a programmer who is less familiar with the survey subject matter. Below are the steps followed to ensure the quality of the survey.

CATI Methodology: The CATI recruit script was programmed on Advanis’ proprietary platform with no unforeseen challenges. Advanis was able to leverage its experience for the survey programming and the reminder process to achieve high quality standards. Advanis implemented the following to ensure high quality data collection:

To ensure high interview quality, interviewers are trained to use various interviewing techniques. As well as maintaining a professional attitude, interviewers must be convincing, read word-for-word, take notes, probe deeper on semi-open and open questions, systematically confirm the information given, and listen to the respondent.

Web Methodology: All Advanis online surveys are hosted internally by Advanis, and employ a rigorous and stringent set of data collection control mechanisms to ensure the highest quality for the data collected. These mechanisms include:

Data Handling and Reporting: For the data collected, Advanis develops rules to check the validity of the data. These rules include items such as:

3.0 Non-Response Bias

Surveys are subject to bias or error – sampling and non-sampling error. Sampling error stems from the fact that surveys are conducted with a portion of the population. This means that the results achieved from participants may not be reflective of the entire population. Non-sampling error often stems from differences in response from those who participated and those who did not. Non-response bias occurs when non-responders differ in a meaningful way from respondents and this difference impacts the information gathered.

Thousands of Canadian visitors to national parks were invited to participate. It is difficult to assess the presence of non-response bias because information about why those invited chose to not participate is not available, nor is it really ever available. One way to gauge the potential impact of non-response bias is to evaluate if the sample is representative by comparing the respondents' characteristics and gauge if they reflect known population characteristics (e.g., geography, demographics). If the variation is fairly small and there is no reason to believe there are other factors impacting respondents’ willingness to participate, it can be concluded that the likelihood of non-response bias impacting the information gathered is minimal. This is the case with this study. A rigorous approach also helps to increase response rates and reduce the effects of non-response bias. In addition to the measures outlined earlier, other strategies to reduce non-response bias are outlined in Table 8.

Table 8: Strategies to reduce non-response bias
Action Benefit(s)
Recruiting by telephone Achieves a higher response rate compared to email invitations
Out-pulsing local phone numbers (rather than a toll-free number) and the name of the study sponsor ("GovCanada") Increases pick-up rates (reduces call screening).
Systematic setting of the next call date /time based on the outcome of the current call Maximizes ability to reach respondents. Ensures each respondent is called methodically across days of the week and times of the day (especially those that are difficult to reach)
Sending SMS text messages directly to participants Provides a seamless transition from telephone to the online survey. Receipt can be confirmed in real-time and encourages respondents to complete the survey as soon as the call ends.
Informing potential respondents of the study sponsor Enhances credibility and reassures person that the call is not a scam
Offering the survey in both official languages Maximizes ease of completion
