Lakeshore has launched a new online payment system for residents to pay property tax and water bills. The municipality launched Lakeshore Link, which also allows residents to set reminders and check their bills. It is available 24/7. In addition to Lakeshore Link, the municipality has also introduced a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and finance system. The ERP will replace a legacy platform and give Lakeshore’s finance and accounting functions a long-term foundation. “The launch of Lakeshore Link and our new ERP are products of our ongoing commitment to improving how we do business and how we interact with residents,” said Mayor Tracey Bailey. “Both of these systems are an investment in building a more sustainable and resilient foundation that will work for Lakeshore as we grow into the future. I also want to thank and recognize the project team for their commitment and expertise over the past two years in bringing this important initiative to reality.” If you would like to register with Lakeshore Link, you can do so at link.lakeshore.ca and sign up with your 19-digit property roll number or property tax accounts, or your nine-digit water account number. “The new ERP is a long-term investment in our financial operations,” said Justin Rousseau, interim chief administrative officer. “By strengthening the systems that support our accounting and billing services, we are also improving our internal processes, which will benefit taxpayers in the long term. The platform will also help us improve our financial reporting and meet audit requirements, while adding stronger security measures and financial controls to safeguard public funds.”
