The City of Courtenay’s first monthly e-newsletter is now available.

The City says the project will help residents keep up to date on what’s happening with Courtenay services, programs, projects and community events.

Mayor Bob Wells says it’s a direct line from the City to residents, ensuring transparency and trust remain at the heart of everything they do.

It features Council highlights, links to City services, updates on major projects, recreation opportunities, and upcoming community events.

You can subscribe to the newsletter at City of Courtenay with future editions distributed at the beginning of each month.

For the launch, subscribers can enter to win one of three $50 gift certificates to a Downtown Courtenay business.

The random prize draw will take place on January 31.
