It’s the season for your summer friends and relatives visiting or borrowing your place while you take a break from home.
Please make sure that they know the actual “civic” lot number that’s in the Thetis phone book, and use that number.
There are many “lot 10, parcel 4” properties on the folio map for Land Title purposes, but the civic lot number is what 911 and your fire department deal with when a call comes in for emergency aid.
And if you don’t have your civic lot number posted at the start of your driveway, visible from both directions, as required of all property owners by By-Law, please realize that valuable time will be wasted in trying to find you when you need help.
Live on a driveway that forks to other addresses? Please post your lot number and an arrow also at the fork to help us out. Visitors telling 911 “its the blue cabin” doesn’t help in a forested area with other driveways.
Help us help you. Thank you.
