Action Battlefords representatives were at the Nov. 19 Town of Battleford council meeting, presenting on measures to increase visibility in town.
Dave Fortier, on behalf of Battlefords Citizens on Patrol, asked the town to install Battlefords Citizens on Patrol signs at 10 major entry points in Battleford.
The signs could “act as a deterrent and to let the community know that community members are out there looking out for them,” Fortier said.
Fortier also asked council to consider participating in the Light Up The Night campaign, in which the Town would provide solar motion-powered sensor lights. Fortier said Light Up The Night was “essentially the same thing” as North Battleford’s Eyes That Care program.
How many lights the town would purchase would be at council’s discretion, Fortier said.
Fortier also said Fortier Mattila Appraisals and Kelly’s Computer Works are donating some security camera signage, signs notifying people of surveillance.
Fortier said Citizens On Patrol continues to look for new members.
Costs weren’t specific but would be brought to council at a later date.
