“A civic number shall be displayed on a post or sign if a civic number that is located on a building cannot be easily read from the roadway or street from which the building is numbered.” – Town of Wolfville Civic Sign Bylaw
The Town of Wolfville has a Civic Addressing Bylaw in place to ensure emergency services can easily find your property. They are encouraging all residents to take a quick moment to check their civic number signage because in an emergency, every second counts.
Clear signage helps emergency responders reach you quickly when every second counts. You can read the full bylaw and signage requirements online at Civic Addressing Bylaw(External link).
If your signage doesn’t meet these standards, now’s a great time to update it.
Bylaw enforcement is now performing inspections to ensure all civic number postings are compliant with this bylaw. If you are not compliant, you will receive a letter with the amount of time you have to install your sign.
Please don’t wait for a notice, please make sure that everyone is protected by checking that you have the right sign in the right place.
