As per section 11.0 – Civic numbering and street naming of our engineering design criteria and standards document:
Section 6.0 states that only civic numbering by the City will be recognized, and under no circumstances will a legal lot of record be assigned more than one civic number.
Submission of a Farm 911 emergency access application will be accepted in place of an application for an access permit/entrance culvert for the approval of a secondary or additional access/entrance for a lot already assigned civic addressing.

Emergency access signage (Farm 911 program)
The Farm 911 program’s goal is to increase signage on rural properties at currently unmarked field entrances. This project was inspired by the tragic loss of Emily Trudeau, a young girl from a local family who passed away during a farm accident. Due to the lack of signage, first responders could not quickly locate the field where the accident took place.
All rural property owners who have any unmarked entrances to their property are encouraged to apply to the program, which costs only $50 per sign.
Application fee:
| Application type | Fee |
| Farm 911 emergency access application | $55 |
