Following the launch of the City’s new website, residents of Maple Ridge now have a quick and easy way to stay up to date on the latest City news, with E-Connect.

E-Connect will deliver important announcements, event notifications, service updates, Council and project updates, and public engagement opportunities directly to email inboxes.

“As part of our commitment to openness and transparency, we were thrilled to launch our new website, and now E-Connect is our next tool to keep our residents informed and engaged,” said Mayor Ruimy. “Having all the news and information in your inbox is a convenient way to know about important decisions and projects that impact life in Maple Ridge. I encourage everyone to sign up.”

E-Connect helps residents stay informed about what’s happening in Maple Ridge and encourages participation in public engagement opportunities and municipal decision-making. Knowing the issues, projects, and policies discussed by Council, and when and how to provide feedback, encourages residents to weigh in on important topics that impact their community.
