WILLIAMS LAKE — The Williams Lake First Nation (WLFN) has a more efficient way to communicate with its members. It’s created its first mobile app.

It was created in partnership with Canadian software company Aivia Inc and is open to Williams Lake First Nation member registration on iOS and Android. It will enable leadership to directly reach out to members about events, news, elections, resources, and even contact individual members via push notification.

“When there’s urgent information that needs to be distributed, having to rely on Facebook, phone calls, and printed notices means that things can be missed,” says Chief Administrative Officer Aaron Mannella. “An official app means our members can trust where the information is coming from, and our communications staff can send messages to our members’ devices at a moment’s notice.”

“Leadership requires constantly looking forward; making sure we are adopting new technologies that are useful for our members is a priority for WLFN to ensure we are providing our community the best resources possible,” says Chief WIllie Sellars.
