The City of Courtenay has received international recognition for its redesigned municipal website, which officially launched in July 2025.

The website has been awarded a Gold AVA Digital Award, an international honour that recognizes excellence in digital design, accessibility, and production.

The award highlights the City’s efforts to modernize its online presence and improve access to information and services for residents, businesses, and visitors.

The site includes a range of tools designed specifically for municipal use.

These include event calendars, job postings, and alert systems that can be displayed across the site or on specific pages.

City officials say it’s a polished and accessible website that strengthens Courtenay’s digital presence, empowers staff with modern tools, and provides a barrier-free online experience for the community as the City looks ahead.
