Five residents in the Strathcona Regional District won a contest focused on address sign visibility.
According to the District, the contest was held during the summer, with the goal of highlighting the importance of having a visible home address sign in case of an emergency.
They say not having a visible address can lead to confusion and delay from first responders when responding to an emergency.
