Address changes
All residents at Vanastra
with new house numbers
must contact Bell Canada of
their change of address for
the new telephone books
coming out in the Fall.
It is extremely important
that people with new house
numbers put them on their
homes especially in case of a
fire. If you do have a fire and
still have the old number on
your home don't count on the
Fire Department corning to
the proper house as they
follow the map with the new
street names and numbers.
The few minutes that could
be wasted by trying to find
the fire could mean the
destruction of your property
and the lives of your family.
