In an emergency, every second counts!
To make your home easier to find, we are asking residents to join the Reflective Address Sign Program. This program helps display your home address clearly, making it easier for emergency personnel to find you quickly in an emergency. At night or in bad weather, it can be hard to see house numbers or driveways, especially in rural areas.
These blue and white reflective signs are used in many towns and are easy for emergency responders to see at night or in bad weather.
"Our rural community has a variety of complex and hidden driveways and during dusk, dawn and at night it can be a challenge to locate the proper house number when responding to an emergency,” said Kenn Mount, Fire Chief for Central Saanich. “With the addition of a reflective marker sign, we can see and verify the correct address immediately and not waste time trying to look for the correct driveway to your home.”
HOW MUCH?
Residents can order a sign for a flat fee of $65, payable in person by cash, cheque, credit or debit.
WHERE DO I PURCHASE?
In person at Municipal Hall, located at 1903 Mount Newton Cross Rd.
HOW DO I RECEIVE IT ONCE PURCHASED?
Once the sign is ready, our firefighters will assist with installation to ensure optimal and safe placement.
