The City of Peterborough has launched an interactive online tool to verify officially recognized addresses in the city. Created by the City of Peterborough’s geomatics/mapping division, the “myAddress Verification,” the tool verifies a property address and also ensures that additional units at a single address are accounted for. The city says official addresses are used by first responders to quickly and accurately locate people. Data collected will also be provided to external service providers like 911 emergency services, Canada Post and Hydro One, the city notes. The city says under its municipal address bylaw, whenever an address in the city is modified, or a new address is created, memos are sent to notify stakeholders and property owners.
