The Farm 911 Emily Project

The United Counties of Prescott and Russell (UCPR) and the Township of Russell are proud to support the Farm 911 Emily Project, which encourages agricultural landowners to have civic addresses assigned to vacant land entrances.

The Farm 911 Emily Project was created as the result of a tragic fatal farm accident, in which seven-year-old Emily Trudeau lost her life on a rural property in Tweed, Ontario. Emergency crews were called to the scene, but first responders were unable to locate the exact location, due to lack of address. Although they were eventually flagged down on the roadside, Emily unfortunately suffered traumatic injuries and later passed away in hospital.

Putting up 911 civic address signs on farm laneways and entrances provides more accurate locations to our first responders in an emergency.
