QueensWest.com Launches New Website
The much talked about and long awaited site redesign and platform is finished and the new QueensWest.com is open for business.
Welcome to the new QueensWest.com website. There are a lot of changes so take a moment to read through what has been done and what is still on the plate to do.
Reset Your Password
The first thing to get out of the way is you must reset your password to access the website. The link is in the top right navigation and all you have to do is put in your lowercase username and submit it. You will get an email with instructions on how to do the rest.
