Requests for change of address

Requests for a change of address related to 9-1-1 standards are free of charge.
Requests for a change of address not related to 9-1-1 standards are subject to a $60 fee.

For more information, please email Andrew Nichols or call 705-742-7777 ext. 1678

Why is an addressing by-law necessary?

The Address By-Law:

Ensures every occupied building and property has a unique address.
Improves services from local government and utility companies.
Provides emergency personnel a quick and effective way to locate addresses
