Address Signs
This is a friendly reminder about the joint program between the WLNGLVFD and the 100 Mile Lions Club for selling residential
address signs in our area.
The signs are eight inches high by 16 inches wide and are made of engineer-grade aluminum with five-inch black numbers on a white, highly reflective background. These signs, when placed at the entrance of your driveway, can be easily seen in the day, at night and in bad weather and are
approved by the WLNGLVFD.
The signs cost $15 for single-sided and $25 for double-sided. If you wish to order or have any questions, contact the writer at 250-395-9082. The deadline for ordering these signs will be at the end of April.
Special wishes
