Signage

The Public Works Department is responsible for all signage along Township roads, including outdoor advertisement and directional signs. There are various private road signs that can be purchased through the Public Works Department. Please use the Citizen Request Portal or contact the Public Works Manager via or email or by phone at 705-656-4445 ext 243 for more information.

Civic Address Signs

The Civic Address System (9-1-1 numbering) is administered through the Public Works Department. New houses or lots that require a new 9-1-1 number/civic address can have them installed for the first time at no cost by the Public Works Department.

Once a 9-1-1 sign is installed, it becomes the responsibility of the property owner to keep the sign in good repair, upright, and visible at the bottom of your entrance at all times. If the original sign is damaged you can request a new sign at a cost of $25.00 (as per Fees and Charges By-law # 2023-0079). 

If you require a civic address sign please submit your request through the Citizen Request Portal. If you have any questions please contact the Public Works Manager via email or call 705-656-4445.

Citizen Request Portal

Ontario Provincial Police and Emergency Services remind all homeowners to keep your own civic address sign upright, visible, and clear of snow or any other obstruction. It is vital to ensure this sign is visible.

 

 

What is Next Generation 9-1-1?

Next Generation 9-1-1, Next Gen 9-1-1 or NG9-1-1 is regulated by the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), with guidance provided by Emergency Services Working Group (ESWG). ESWG is working with the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) to update GIS standards for NG9-1-1 with consideration for Canadian requirements, subject to approval by CRTC. 

Canada first adopted 9-1-1 as a common emergency call number in 1972, with Peterborough County adopting 9-1-1 in 1999.  The 9-1-1 system was originally built around landlines with each phone number tied to a fixed address, which fewer and fewer people have or use today. Currently, close to 90% of 9-1-1 calls are made with cellular or VOIP (Voice over IP) technology, which can occur anywhere, creating challenges in locating callers.
