CALGARY, June 12, 2015 - The results are in from the first-ever ATB Financial Alberta Happiness Survey and, it turns out, we're a pretty happy bunch. The majority of Albertans surveyed said they had a high level of life satisfaction, general happiness and emotional well-being. In fact, eight out of ten Albertans say they are happy.
As the first-ever comprehensive survey done on happiness in our province, ATB discovered what makes Albertans happy and the top three factors turned out to be: • Feeling healthy • Supportive relationships with family and friends • Time spent doing things they love Still, Albertans have some room to improve when it comes to happiness. Our overall happiness level is lower than the United States (87 per cent) and many European countries.
