The Town of Saugeen Shores has launched its own mobile app for Apple and Android devices.
A release from the Town says the portal allows users to access municipal information on the following:
Waste collection
News and notices
Community events and calendars
Parks, trails, and facilities
Applications, licences and permits
Bylaw enforcement
Careers
Information on council members
The Town says the app also allows the municipality to send out notifications to app users, including emergency alerts.
They say funding for the project’s start-up comes from a one-time efficiency payment from the province.
CAO Kara Van Myall says in a statement, “This app gives residents and visitors another avenue to access Town business and information,” adding, “It follows the Municipality’s guiding principles of communicating in a timely and effective manner, while striving for openness in everything we do.”
The app includes a section for users to provide feedback so staff can make changes as needed. The Town notes, while the app doesn’t cover all services, it provides contact information for users to reach out to the appropriate departments.
iPhone and iPad users can download the app from the Apple App store. Android users can download the app from the Google Play store. Both stores offer the app for free.
