The Hume Blog is Moving!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, loyal readers, please take note: the Hume Blog has moved over to its permanent home on the brand-new peterhume.ca website!

Now all of the Hume communications will be easily accessible from one central location on the new Hume site. Social media like Twitter, Pinterest, and Facebook will continue as always.

We look forward to seeing your comments and views on the new Hume Blog!

Social Media Ahoy!

Ladies and gents, the Hume office is online with plenty of great social media. Here are some great ways to stay in touch with what's happening within the office, the ward, and even on committees:

TWITTER: Regular news, updates, tidbits, and info will be posted on Twitter, along with retweets from other tweeters. You can check out the twitter feed anytime without even registering for Twitter, yourself.

FACEBOOK: We have a Facebook page up for you to join. This is a great way to keep up to date with regular news and notices about new blog posts, announcements, and more.

BLOG: If you're reading this, you've already found the blog. But of course, you can subscribe to receive updates by email (see the box on the right)...you may also consider adding us to your blogroll or Google Reader.

WEBSITE: Watch for additions, changes, and renovations to our website over the spring and summer!

As times change, we're always looking for new ways to connect with citizens. Our social media channels are managed by our comms coordinator Jordan, with input, additions, quotes, and posts by Peter himself. By cooperating on our social media efforts, we'll be able to provide things like live tweeting from certain meetings, and consistent updates to our sites on a regular basis, even when Peter himself is hard at work in other areas.

This will be a great opportunity for increased interaction and conversation with the people of Ottawa.

New City of Ottawa Website Makes Life Easier!

I’m pleased to say that our new City of Ottawa website went live in February. The site has been revamped to be far more user-friendly, allowing residents and businesses to access services in the blink of an eye.

This site is a great start on our grander ServiceOttawa plan. You’ll discover that you can now go online to find and book last minute ice time, report graffiti, or register for recreation programs. You can even take a virtual tour of rental spaces in City facilities.

Tour the site, and try out one of the new easy-to-use online features! Not only is this a great way to guarantee consistent service for each and every resident, but it’s also flexible with your schedule...because the internet is available 24/7!

And stay tuned for developing website and social media additions to my own site! The best way to be  in-the-know is to head to our website and subscribe to our e-newsletter at peterhume.ca.
