Survey time! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DawsonHouseholds
A survey to outline basic demographics, population migration trends, economic activity/spending and social aspects of life in Dawson at the household level. It takes 10 to 15 minutes.

KDO surveyed the community in this way in 2017 and 2011. Periodic re-surveying enables us to identify changes over time, & get up to date on both community concerns and successes. Check-ins like this can help indicate where our community needs added supports, and help groups like KDO decide where to focus our energy.

FYI previous survey summaries and other reports are archived on our website: https://www.klondikedevelopment.com/research/

KDO is moving!
We've packed up our office above the CIBC, and from mid-December, 2025 we'll be sharing an office with the Dawson City Chamber of Commerce, within the warren of the Klondike Visitors Association at 1102 Front Street. Looking forward to new connections and synergies in the new year.
