The RM of Edenwold launched the Voyent Alert multi-purpose notification service in early 2024 to keep our ratepayers informed of critical events like fire bans or road closures, as well as day-to-day communications.
To date, over 830 residents and business owners have signed up for the service to provide instant access to crucial notifications.
The service is also being used in Balgonie, Pilot Butte, and White City - This is exciting as Voyent Alert now allows you to follow all four municipalities on one simple app!
For example - Are there any road advisories that may affect your journey from Balgonie to the RM of Edenwold? Now you will have instant access to a wealth of information on your phone or laptop.
The service is FREE and you are in control. Just select the notifications that matter to you!
