We want to ensure that language isn’t a barrier for accessing important PSB information. Nu Wel Com is a made-in-PEI app that translates public information from government sources, including from the PSB. Many of our public announcements are shared via the app’s notification messages. They currently offer seven languages: English, French, Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Vietnamese and Spanish. The app was developed by a local company in partnership with UPEI and PEI Association of Newcomers to Canada. It is free and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and the Google Play store. You can learn more about them at: https://www.facebook.com/Nuwelcom-109946497419881
