If you’ve been down by Binette Park recently, you might have noticed this brand-new Greater Bangor Region informational kiosk installed right next to the splash pad and restrooms!
👷🏼‍♂️🚧We are currently working on getting everything fully programmed and tailored for our community. Once it’s up and running, it will be a fantastic tool to help residents and visitors find local shopping, food, transit info, entertainment, and even report local concerns directly.
✨Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing an educational video tutorial right here on our page as soon as it’s ready to use! 📲✨
