💻 We're launching a new City website on June 8!

The City of St. John’s is transitioning to a new website platform with improved navigation, enhanced accessibility features, and a more user-focused design.

The transition will begin at approximately 12:30 p.m. on June 8. During this time, the website will be unavailable for approximately 30 minutes while the new platform is launched.

Please note:

📆 Community Event Calendar submissions remain unavailable until the transition is complete.

🔗 Following the transition, users may experience broken or outdated links from bookmarked pages or search engines.

🧭 Information may be located in different sections of the website as part of the new design and navigation.

📧 Existing subscribers to City news and notifications do not need to re-subscribe, although subscription categories have been updated. Subscriber information will be transferred to the new platform on June 9. However, individuals who subscribe during the transition period may not be included in the transfer and may need to subscribe again once the new website is live.

Our team will be actively monitoring the website following launch and addressing any issues as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience as we complete this important upgrade.
