Survey seeks to determine if there is a cross-border identity

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A new online survey seeks input on border crossing habits and preferences along both sides of the border.

The survey is aimed at residents from the area between Burlington and Surrey, B.C. and is designed to determine if there is a cross-border identity uniting B.C. and Washington state.

The Northern Light reports the survey, designed by a research fellow at WWU’s Border Policy Research Institute and the University of Victoria, includes about 20 questions and only takes a few minutes to complete.

Approixmately 350 people have responded to the survey, which will remain open through early next year.
