Reminder about Connexion Potton service
Although five hundred and fortythree households have now signed up for the Connexion Potton service, Potton Mayor Michael Laplume and the members of the Municipal Council are encouraging every household to connect.
The purpose of the Connexion Potton project is to get Potton residents to take advantage of modern communications by using mobile phones and email. This will make it possible for the fire department and first responders to alert citizens about public safety hazards and also tell them about anyone in the house that has mobility, cognitive vision or hearing issues. This information could make a difference if they are ever called to someone’s door. Also, the Municipality wants to use these new connections to lower costs, and to send out information about public affairs and to get citizen’s opinions on things that matter.
Signing up is easy but does require an access code and can be done on your computer or your mobile phone. If a resident has not received a letter from the Municipality with an access code, all they have to do is send an email with their name and their Potton address to connexion@potton. ca or call 450-292-0844. You will find the help you need there. There is no need to contact the Municipal office directly, this email and phone number will get the best results in signing up.
Because the success of the Connexion Potton service relies heavily on contacting all persons living in the community and not only those who own their own homes, it is vital to reach out to renters and get them on board as well. Organizers feel that one of the best ways to do this is to get neighbours, organizations and families encouraging all they meet to sign up if they haven’t already.
The Municipal Council and Mayor are aiming to improve the communication between the Municipality and its citizens with transparency and access to important information. Also, being able to improve the emergency services offered is certainly a bonus in implementing the Connexion Potton service.
“On behalf of myself and the Potton Municipal Council I extend our best wishes for a Happy and healthy holiday season,” said Mayor Michael Laplume.
“We encourage all citizens to make the “connexion” as we embark upon a promising New Year.”
If you haven’t already signed up make a New Year resolution to do so! Surely as a citizen, public safety, public affairs and public consultations are important to you!
