Addressing & Mapping

Property Addressing

All dwellings such as a house, apartment, and detached residences require a house number for timely 911 emergency response. All other structures used to shelter a use or be occupied also require numbering. (See Bylaw R1018 House Numbering Regulation in the Electoral Areas)
