First they were in, then they were out, now they are in again!
McLennan town council agreed to rejoin the Voyent Alert system at its Jan. 13 meeting.
Council heard the M.D. of Smoky River and Town of Falher approved participation. The Village of Girouxville declined and Donnelly met last week to decide. The cost of the system will be shared depending on the number of municipalities participating.
Councillor Sue Delaurier said Voyent provided an effective way to reach residents.
Council heard past glitches have been fixed and the system much better.
Voyent allows residents to be notified by phone of emergencies and important notices. McLennan was last part of Voyent in 2022.
Cost to council depends on the number of municipalities joining but is estimated to be between $500 and $800.
