SURVEY: Affordable Housing Needs of Canada's Music Community

IMPORTANT: This is an advocacy and workforce research survey—it is NOT the housing application.

Submissions for the 20 Pilot Units at ROQ City by Tricon open on August 31, 2026. Because unit availability is strictly limited, applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served chronological timestamp. 


PRIVACY STATEMENT:

All personal identifying information (names and emails) will be entirely decoupled and scrubbed from the financial and demographic data before the aggregate results are shared with any external reports, governments, or institutions. This will also dramatically increase your response rate, as gig-workers will be more likely to share their true financial hardships if they know their identities are protected.
