Warkworth Community Email

To provide information to its members and to the residents of our area, the Warkworth Business Association (WBA) sponsors a Community Email service, currently edited and managed by one of its volunteer members. With the current AntiSpam Legislation (ASL), the WBA is committed to managing this list and the items distributed through it, in a way that addresses the requirements of the legislation.

There is no cost to be a subscriber to the Community Email List but you will be sent a permission form to be returned by email and kept on file to meet ASL standards.

Sending Messages through the Community Email List (WBA Members and Non-Members)

The WBA often gets requests to send messages to the community.

1. Messages from members of the WBA will be distributed according to their paid level of membership Standard (12 annually) or Premium (48 annually).
2. Most local organizations and community events join the WBA and take advantage of the Standard Membership (12).
3. Because the WBA manages the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts, one complimentary post and reminder is given to any event renting the facility.
4. Messages from Community/ Municipality/ County concerning safety, health, environment, water, fire, road maintenance/closures, etc. are posted as available.
5. WBA Member Realtors: Permitted posts include Business announcements/events as well as Open Houses/Listings for properties in Trent Hills, including Greater Warkworth Area.

Guidelines for Community Email Messages (WBA Members only)

Because of the wide range of technology being used by our residents to receive their messages and because of the variation of download speeds of internet services available in our rural area, it is necessary to limit the file size of what is distributed.

1. Each email must not be more than 100kb in file size
2. No attachments will be sent – message and any accompanying graphics will be imbedded in body of message by the Community Email editor.
3. File size of graphics must be small and will be used just as a compliment to the email message. Important information (such as the event name, time, location, cost, etc) must appear in the body of the email and not just on the accompanying graphic.
4. Graphics are preferred in .jpg format and sent as an attachment to the editor, who will do the inserting. Graphics sent in .pdf format require extra work to prepare and may cause delays in message going out.

The WBA reserves the right to qualify any email before broadcast.
