Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s is embarking on a civic numbering campaign to make it easier for identification.
Mayor Carol McDonald notes that easily-identifiable properties only make sense in an emergency when every second counts. The town and Lions Club will offer reflective, two-sided signs to make it easier for first responders.
The “Sign Up For Safety” campaign kicked off yesterday at the home of Mayor McDonald as she was the first to have such a sign installed.
The campaign will also serve as a fundraiser for the Lions Club, which will charge $30 for each sign.
