Protective
Services
What is Emergency Management?
T
hrough its various departments,
the County provides a spectrum
of services to community and industry
stakeholders including emergency and
response planning advice and support,
public awareness and prevention
program support, and emergency
preparedness planning guidance.
Alberta’s Emergency Management Act
mandates local authorities to prepare
for and respond to disasters that occur
within their boundaries, establishing
authority for a local emergency
management program. A bylaw should
describe the local structure, authorize
the Municipal Emergency Plan and
outline any mutual aid arrangements
with neighbouring local authorities. The
Emergency Management team will then
work with municipal partners to develop
response strategies to regional events.
Rural Addressing System
Rural addressing is a standardized
system of identifying and locating rural
properties. In 2002, Lac Ste. Anne
County began putting into effect a
municipal rural addressing system for use
by emergency service providers — Fire,
RCMP and Ambulance services — and
for other purposes such as providing
directions for delivery services.
The Rural Addressing System is a street
address that works much like street
addresses in an urban town or city.
Our range roads, which run north and
south, correspond to streets, and our
township roads, which run east and west,
correspond to avenues.
The rural address for a property is based
on the distance from the road junction to
the south or east of the driveway (called
the reference road, whether built or not),
to the point a property’s driveway meets
a public road (called the access road). A
County rural address then consists of the
reference road number, access interval
number and access road. In Lac Ste.
Anne County, rural addresses are not
mailing addresses and do not replace
your legal land description.
It is critical that emergency responders
locate your home or business in times
of emergencies in the County. As such,
it’s important to have proper signage for
your property if you require Fire, RCMP
or Ambulance services. Make sure that
your signs are visible. If you do not have
a rural address sign, you can pick up
an application form at the County office,
or print a copy from LSAC.ca/Rural-
Addressing-Resources.
Bylaw 15-2002, the Municipal Addressing
System Bylaw requires that all parcels of
land supporting residential, commercial
and industrial development, with a
primary access onto a developed public
road right-of-way, be assigned an
address by the County and such address
must be posted — with the exception of
oil and gas industry development which is
regulated by the AEUB.
Please contact the County office to obtain
your rural address. You should have
the following information available: legal
