Properly displaying your civic number on your house or at the end of your drive ensures fast emergency response for the AMBULANCE, FIRE and POLICE Services.

First responders are moving quickly to assist you. Seeing the civic numbers posted clearly helps the responders to calculate when to start slowing down for the number they are looking for. When an emergency vehicle misses a driveway it causes delays in reaching someone who is in serious trouble. Precious minutes can pass while the emergency vehicle finds a place to turn around somewhere down the road and then return to the incident scene. The civic address ensures that the emergency services responsible for finding you or your neighbor can do it easily to save lives and property. Canada Post and other delivery services are also relying upon your civic address to find your house or business.
