Zoning bylaw gives Tsiigehtchic streets names

Tsiigehtchic

A zoning bylaw passed in February in Tsiigehtchic Charter Community gives each street its own name.

Street signs will soon be erected as the snow melts and house signs will also be made for each home.

To keep things simple and prevent extra costs for homeowners, lot numbers will be the same as house numbers.
