“I don’t see the Town’s posts on Facebook!” 

We hear you! Between changes to algorithms and platform updates, it can be difficult to stay in the loop on the social media front. Your Facebook newsfeed does not always show everything that has been posted by the pages you follow; instead, it largely focuses on pages you regularly interact with. The more you engage with the Town page, the more likely you are to see our posts come up in your newsfeed. 

There are a few steps you can take to get the Town of Stony Plain’s posts showing up in your newsfeed:

  1. On the Town of Stony Plain Facebook page, select ‘Follow’.
  2. Under the ‘Follow’ button, set the Town of Stony Plain page as a ‘Favourite’ – this will place Town posts at the top of your newsfeed. 
 “I hear about events too late!” 

Finding out about an event the day of can be a real bummer, to say the least. There are a few different tools you can use to keep up with Town events:

  1. Subscribe to the Newsroom: by subscribing, you will receive an email alert whenever the Town releases an event announcement or update.
  2. Subscribe to the Community Calendar: you will receive email alerts detailing upcoming events in the community. The calendar is open to the public, so not only will you hear about Town events, but you will also hear about events being hosted by local organizations and community members!
  3. Check out the Town of Stony Plain Facebook page: in addition to regular posting, the Town page uses the Events tool to feature events in the community.
