Municipality's name on line 1 of the letter:
A list of the most frequently asked questions is included here
for your reference. If your question is not answered in this document,

provided here for your reference. If you do not receive a satisfactory
outcome, or have additional questions regarding the project, THEN you should

Please pay particular attention to the instructions on both
letters regarding changing your address with your utilities, suppliers,
contractors & other parties.
There are instances where properties have been misidentified
during the municipality's field work. For example, some structures like
barns and sheds may have been given addresses in error. There are also
instances where properties have been addressed on a corner have been addressed
on one road when the driveway & mailbox are actually placed on the other road.
In any instance where there is a misidentification, we appreciate your help in
rectifying the situation as soon as possible.
Important note: During the readdressing process, many
companies may have purchased mailing lists from the postal service that may have
included misinformation, especially if you experienced one of the problems with
misidentification described above. Once the address problem has been
rectified, it is possible that you may still receive mail (especially mail
classified as 'junk' mail) with an incorrect address on it. This occurs
because the company that purchased the information did so during the transition.
When those companies purchase newer copies, the correct information will be
generated and the junk mail to an old or incorrect address should stop.
Additional information, as well as copies of the letters and
FAQ's are also available on our 'Readdressing'
page on this website.
