What is a widget?
A widget, also called a snippet or gadget, is an online application that displays featured content directly on your web page. Once installed, widgets are automatically updated to display new information as soon as it is published so your website visitors can get the most current information without having to visit other web sites.
Who is this widget for?
The Ventilation Index Forecast Widget is primarily designed for local governments and municipal authorities who communicate open burning by-laws that reference the Ventilation Index to assist in communicating Ventilation Index data to their constituents.
