The MyLondon App Officially Launches: A First-of-Its-Kind City App for Everyone
On August 20th, 2025, The Welcome Platform proudly unveiled the MyLondon app—a groundbreaking new way for residents, newcomers, students, and visitors to discover and connect with everything the City of London, Ontario has to offer.
Developed in partnership with the LEDC (London Economic Development Corporation), Tourism London, Western University, Fanshawe College, and the City of London, this first-of-its-kind city app brings together everything people need to know about London into one single mobile platform. From local attractions and events to settlement resources and student supports, MyLondon is designed for everyone.
MyLondon is Canada’s first city app designed for everyone—residents, newcomers, students, and visitors alike.
A Milestone for The Welcome Platform
In the past, The Welcome Platform has focused primarily on apps for newcomers, helping individuals and families find the resources they need to settle into Canadian communities. With MyLondon, we’ve taken a major step forward—creating Canada’s first city app designed for all audiences. Whether you’re new to London, here for school, visiting for the weekend, or a longtime resident, MyLondon is built to serve you.
A Strong Launch Event
The launch event, hosted at Toboggan Brewery in London, saw over 200 registrants sign-up to learn about this major milestone. Attendees heard from the CEO of LEDC, the Deputy Mayor of London, Li, the Founder and CEO of The Welcome Platform, and representatives from Tourism London—all sharing their vision for how this app will revolutionize the way people connect with the city.
London Leading the Way
Thanks to strong leadership from the LEDC and the City of London, the community has embraced innovation and shown what it means to be a trailblazer. By investing in new technology, London is setting an example for cities across Canada, proving that smart digital tools can make communities more connected, accessible, and welcoming.
Early Success & What’s Next
Within the first weekend of launch, thousands of users downloaded the MyLondon app—a strong indicator of its value and demand. This is only the beginning. We’re committed to growing the user base, gathering community feedback, and continually improving the app to ensure it becomes the best possible digital companion for the City of London.
And this is just the start. With MyLondon paving the way, The Welcome Platform is preparing to roll out similar citywide apps in multiple communities across Canada.
