- Keep storm drains clear: Make sure the storm drains near your house are free from leaves and debris. The best time to inspect the storm drain is before a rain, ice or snowstorm. You should also monitor and clean the drains when the trees are shedding their leaves.
About RBC Canadian Water Attitudes Study
The 2014 RBC Canadian Water Attitudes Study included an online survey administered by GlobeScan between January 24 and February 12, 2014. It included a sample of 2,074 Canadian adults from GMI’s Canadian panel. Weighting was employed to balance demographics, to ensure the sample’s composition reflects the adult population according to Canadian Census data, and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. Results were weighted by gender, age, region, and community size. The sample included a minimum of 200 respondents in each of Calgary, Halifax, Montreal, Vancouver, and Winnipeg and 300 in Toronto. The margin of error for a strict probability sample for a sample of this size (n=2,074) would be ± 2.2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
