Civic address information
Civic Addressing staff manage and assign all civic addresses within the municipality. They also approve all new street names and confirm community boundaries. Civic addressing is responsible for correcting addressing issues that may result in renaming and or renumbering of existing streets under By-law C-300 [PDF] and Administrative Order #29 [PDF].
