Core offering

The Township of Woolwich is a municipal government administering local services to residents and businesses within the Township, including property tax and water billing, building and construction permitting, roads and sidewalks maintenance (including winter snow clearing), fire services and emergency management, recreation programming and facility rentals, water and sewer services, parks and trails, animal services, by-law enforcement, and community engagement.

Product overview

The Township of Woolwich operates a website platform (built on Govstack CMS) that serves as the digital front door for municipal service delivery. The platform does not follow a unified product architecture; instead, it functions as a service aggregation hub connecting residents to discrete municipal operations. Core service clusters include: recreation programming (arenas, pools, fitness, PickUpHub booking), infrastructure maintenance (roads, sidewalks, snow clearing, water/sewer), public safety (fire services, emergency alerts via AlertWR siren system), and administrative services (property tax eBilling, building permits, dog tags, parking). The site also promotes community engagement through the EngageWR portal and tourism through the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival and clean tech tour directory.
