In the late summer of 2023, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton was commissioned to conduct a study of Beaconsfield’s cultural and recreational needs. The objectives of the study were to :
- Draw up a detailed portrait of Beaconsfield’s current population, examining its characteristics and leisure habits;
- Define typical profiles representative of the diversity of the city’s residents, as well as their leisure practices and habits;
- Identify the population’s needs in terms of sports, recreation, culture, community life and healthy lifestyle, based on the different profiles;
- Draw up a portrait of the current leisure offer;
- Propose strategic orientations for the development of leisure activities over the next 10 years.
Nearly 1,250 people responded to the survey, while 45 participants took part in the focus groups.
