YELLOWKNIFE (April 4, 2013) – Minister of Education, Culture and Employment (ECE) Jackson Lafferty  announced the launch of an expanded and improved departmental website today.

“As Internet access in the Northwest Territories (NWT) expands and people require and expect quicker access to government information and services, we have enhanced our website to meet their changing needs,” said Minister Lafferty. “Our new website offers residents, families, employers, employees and educators many new features and improvements to help them find the resources they are looking for.” 

The launch of the new website, which offers users easier access to the department’s resources online, is part of ECE’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and availability of its resources and services to residents of the Northwest Territories. Powered by a new content management system, information will be kept current and relevant, ensuring that residents have access to the latest news and updates as they are announced, as well as online services previously unavailable.

The new departmental website has been developed from the ground up with a modern design and offers users multiple ways to navigate the site including a robust search system and user focused menus. Other new features include a French mirror version of the site under development, the ability to request information in all NWT official Aboriginal languages, real-time updating popular searches/pages, and a full refresh of site content.

You can visit the new website at www.ece.gov.nt.ca.
