The Rm of Portage has been receiving a lot of positive feedback on its new app. CAO Nettie Neudorf says having the app available has reduced the number of phone calls that come in, noting it has also allowed the municipality to reach a much larger audience. Neudorf says while they appreciate folks who take the time to call in for information, the app allows people who don't phone the office but are wondering about something to gain the information they need. She says they encourage folks to sign up for the RM's app, adding it's very beneficial for everyone who lives in the area or just travels through the region. Neudorf notes the company which provides the software may even issue some new items in the future, so they'll just have to wait and see. She adds increasing communication with the public by an affordable means has definitely been a plus for the RM.
