Sheryl Exley, Legislative Officer

Residents have commented on social media how nice it is to view our videos anywhere from a tablet or smartphone. Being able to watch council meetings from home is remarkable. They also like being able to scroll through the agenda on the website and click an item to go directly to that part of the video.

Dorothy Shermer, Corporate Officer

We do some pretty strange things and have incredibly specific requirements. eSCRIBE does a great job of addressing them while most others won’t even understand what we’re going on about. I’m impressed and have been spreading the news among my peers, who know that I’m never easily impressed.

Danielle Manton, Manager of Election & Committees Services

It’s almost impossible to quantify the hours we spent preparing for meetings before eSCRIBE. Compiling reports took months, and building a meeting agenda was a two-day process for each committee. Now everything we need is up-to-date and securely available on any device, anywhere.

Donna Delvecchio, City Clerk

It can be hard to accept change. Our Legislative Assistant has been here for 30 years but has totally embraced eSCRIBE. To go through that big of a change and be totally on board is a testament to the solution. We don’t know what we would do without eSCRIBE.

Kim Courts, Deputy Clerk

If our CAO wants something changed or the contributor has their own update, I just work with the contributor, re-upload the report to eSCRIBE, and it’s done in five minutes. The page numbering and bookmarks are also automatically updated. I can’t imagine how we ever got by without eSCRIBE before.
