During the Canada Post strike, municipalities lost access to mail services, disrupting bills, election notices, and public updates. Many have relied on digital platforms like Govstack to keep services running. Municipal websites became essential for sharing notices, emergency info, and promoting online payments. The strike showed that digital-first strategies are key to resilience and continuity.
We have recently released the latest update to Govstack CMS which includes great new features and many performance improvements.
When it comes to municipal websites, the decision about which platform to use is critical. While WordPress is a popular choice for many organizations and small businesses, cities and municipalities have unique needs that may not align well with WordPress’s capabilities.
