City of Clarence-Rockland Launches Two New Websites
Upanup delivers modern, accessible digital solutions to support residents, businesses, and community growth
VICTORIA, BC, Oct. 2, 2025 /CNW/ – The City of Clarence-Rockland has launched two new websites, created in collaboration with Upanup, to improve citizen engagement and access to services. The bilingual Choisir-Choose Clarence-Rockland website (choisir-choose.clarence-rockland.com) went live on June 26, 2025, offering a user-friendly portal dedicated to showcasing the city’s economic development opportunities. A redesigned main municipal website (clarence-rockland.com/en) launched September 23, 2025, providing residents with streamlined navigation, enhanced accessibility, and improved access to community services.
The City of Clarence-Rockland is one of the fastest growing communities in Eastern Ontario, located along the Ottawa River just 30 km east of Ottawa. With these launches, the City continues to invest in modernized digital tools to meet the needs of its 26,500 residents, businesses, and visitors.
“These new websites are an exciting step forward in connecting with our community,” said Lindsay Doucet, Manager of Communications and Public Relations. “The Choisir-Choose Clarence-Rockland site promotes growth and opportunity for businesses and new residents, while the new municipal site will make it easier for residents to access services, news, and events. Working with Upanup allowed us to create accessible, user-focused platforms that reflect our vision for the future.”
Upanup worked closely with City staff to design and deliver both websites with features including enhanced search functionality, improved directories and calendars, email subscription services, and interactive tools to support engagement. Both websites meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards, ensuring inclusivity for all users.
“We’re proud to partner with the City of Clarence-Rockland to create these innovative, accessible platforms,” said Peter Knapp, CEO of Upanup. “Our team’s goal was to design solutions that help the City better serve its residents and businesses, while also supporting long-term community growth.”
