The Town of Lakeshore has unveiled a new website.
Manager of Communications and Strategic Initiatives Rita Chappell says the website has many new features including a subscription section, that allows residents to subscribe to news alerts, upcoming council and committee meetings along with community events.
Chappell says the response has been fairly positive.
"It has loads of new graphics and features that we can now provide to our residents," says Chappell. "Some of the really great features is the ability to subscribe."
She feels the subscription section will be a hit.
"You can subscribe not only to news and the variety of types of news that we have, we have emergency alerts," says Chappell. "You can subscribe to our calendars, we have festival and event calendar and town council calendar."
Chappell says the new website was designed for the entire community after consultation meetings.
"We had community groups come in," says Chappell. "We had meetings with residents and council and administration and everybody had a chance to take a look at the old website and what worked on the old website and what worked on the old website and what they like to see on the new website and this is listening to everyone opinions and suggestions."
The site also includes online recruitment, bids and tenders along with online forms.
