Digital information kiosks installed at arenas, community centre

The Town has installed digital information kiosks at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Centre and in the lobby of both the Meridian Credit Union Arena and the Centennial Arena. 

Community engagement and communications coordinator Marah Minor says the boards will function as information centers with event notifications, urgent alerts, Town advertising, recreational programming information, tourism information (including the Town’s ShopNOTL website), and much more.  

The units are customized with way-finding software to assist residents and visitors to find programming and amenities within the facilities. At the arena, they will feature details such as arena and change room information, while the Community Centre hub will feature room details.  

Once the accessible boards are fully set up, they will function with touch screen and menu options. Each is cloud based and can be easily and quickly updated remotely by Town staff.

A 2022 Ontario Trillium Foundation Resilient Communities Fund grant of $107,300 was acquired by the Town in 2022. The grant fully covered the cost of the three permanent boards and one other portable board, located atf the Town administration building.
