Interim Mayor Travis Nelson signed a municipal proclamation declaring September 20 to October 13 as Culture Days | Fête de la culture in the Town of Shaunavon. Culture Days is a national celebration highlighting the importance of arts and culture in our communities. Shaunavon’s Culture Days Event Hub partners the Grand Coteau Heritage and Cultural Centre and Shaunavon Library have many Culture Days activities planned for you to enjoy!
It is important that Town of Shaunavon residents have access to trusted, timely and accurate information to ensure their own safety and that of their family and loved ones. In response to this need, the Town of Shaunavon has chosen Voyent Alert! as the communication service provider for these kinds of events.
Voyent Alert! is a multi-purpose communication service used to send alerts to residents, businesses, and visitors during critical events like extreme weather conditions, as well as for relevant day-to-day communications such as snow removal advisories, planned maintenance, water advisories, etc.
Implementing this notification platform aligns with the Town of Shaunavon’s current Strategic Plan. During data collection for the 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, Community Survey results indicated 42% of respondents still believed they are receiving too little information. In order to reach Shaunavon’s mix of age groups, this direct alert platform will inform more community members so that the Town may transmit urgent and informational notices to as much of the population as possible.
