New app lets users connect with City
CORNWALL | Citizens of Cornwall have a newway to connect with their City, follow- ing the launch of a new smartphone app. Pingstreet gives users real-time access to community and business news, employ- ment opportunities, upcoming events, garbage and recycling information, social media feeds and more. The app is free to use and is available on a number of popular platforms. “A growing number of people are using their phones to access information,” said Bob Peters, Senior
Development Officer. “This easy-to-use app will allow residents and visitors to connect with the City of Cornwall in an exciting new way.” Cornwall is one of 15 municipalities cur- rently featured on the award-winning app, which was developed by eSolutionsGroup. Pingstreet pulls information from open source data and uses GPS to serve appropri- ate location-based information in real-time. Pingstreet is expandable, allowing for more
information to be added, including infor- mation from other levels of government and other community organizations. Some of the highlights of the free app include upcoming City events, reminders about events of interest and the latest em- ployment opportunities with Cornwall In the near future, Pingstreet users will also be able to use the app to locate nearby Cornwall Transit bus stops and bus times based on real-time locations. Additional
features are expected to be added to the app in the months ahead. “In addition to providing information to local residents, the app will also provide exposure to Cornwall for Pingstreet users in other communities across Ontario and other parts of Canada,” said Mr. Peters. Cornwall’s participation in Pingstreet was made possible with the assistance of the Business Development Program of the East- ern Ontario Development Program.
