CANTON – The unique characteristics of Canton will soon be captured on film and made available to the world.
Deputy Mayor Anna Sorensen informed the village board on Wednesday night, March 16, that a script has been finalized for a June 13-15 filming by the marketing company CGI Digital.
“They accepted our script without comments,” said Sorensen.
A film crew will be shooting five videos based around five themes: Welcome to Canton, Economic Development, Quality of Life, Recreation, and Community Organizations.
Both the village and town have entered into a contract with Rochester-based CGI Digital and at no cost to both entities. CGI will be reaching out to local businesses to offer them their video marketing services.
CGI’s website stated their Community Showcase Video Program is nationally recognized as a vehicle to enhance municipal websites, delivering information that visitors are seeking. This service assists in community growth and development.
Also reported at Wednesday night’s meeting was an update on the village’s problematic website service.
Sorensen said the Information and Technology Committee has reached out to two website providers with a third provider to join the mix in the near future. She said the committee plans to bring a recommendation to the table at the board’s April 19 meeting.
