Gay Calgary and Edmonton Magazine is participating together with the Canadian Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce in a major study intended to improve products and services available to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community.

Your opinions are important, and we encourage you to participate by clicking on this link [http://www.proteansurveys.com/8015/ ] or copy and paste the link into the address bar on your browser.

The survey will take about 10 or 15 minutes to complete, and your name will be entered into a draw for one of several prizes, including two iPads and twenty-five $100 VIA Rail travel credits.

The survey is absolutely anonymous. An independent research company has been retained to conduct the study, and they will not capture any information as to who you are or any information that could affect your privacy (at the end of the survey you will be asked for your e-mail address if you wish to enter the draw. This information will not be incorporated into the survey database, and will be destroyed immediately following the awarding of the prizes.)

Increasingly, major organizations are interested in developing special programs and services for LGBT consumers. Your input is vital to helping these companies serve you better. So, please take the time to respond.
