Acheson Addressing Changes

1. New street blades

Street names, numbering, and other signage will be implemented effective August 21, 2017.

This means your current rural civic address will change to the new urban civic address at this time. Your new civic address will be used for emergency services, deliveries, etc.

Appropriate authorities such as 911, Telus, and other affected agencies have already been notified of these planned changes.

2. New postal codes 

Customers will be changed over to the Acheson community name if not already completed with newly issued postal codes.

Canada Post is implementing this change to improve mail delivery efficiencies.

This change will also come into effect August 21, 2017.

Your new civic address and postal code can be found in the letter mailed to you at the end of May.

3. Informing building tenants and updating your signage

While your old mailing address will remain valid for 365 days following the date of change, property owners are still required to inform all building tenants and alter any signage on their buildings in accordance with Parkland County Civic Addressing Bylaw No. 2015-30. 

Please ensure you inform tenants as soon as possible.

 4. Informing mailers and 365 days to update your address

Please inform the businesses and individuals that send you mail and parcels of your new mailing address so that they can update their records.

A supply of postage-paid Change of Address cards are available for pick up at your local post office, which you can fill out and send to you mailers, free of charge. While you notify your mailers of your new mailing address, Canada Post will provide free Mail Forwarding service for 1 year and will end August 18, 2018.

While mail to your old address will be forwarded to you for a year, you are required to complete three forms, one to return to Canada Post, the Parkland County change of address (remit to Parkland County) and the Alberta Land Titles Change of Address Form (return it to the address shown on the back of the form).
