Ontario Members: List of communities with tornado sirens

[Model2]

Tornado sirens are cropping up around Ontario following three years of active, destructive, and deadly tornado seasons between 2009-2011. Ontario is no stranger to tornado outbreaks with many high profile events including numerous F4's and F3's throughout history, but we still lack proper warning systems including television and radio alert systems and sirens.

This year tornado sirens have been appearing in several locations.

Current list that I will keep updated:

Previously known systems:
Lambton County.
City of Sarnia
Village of Point Edward
Nation of Aamjiwnaang
Corunna, St. Clair Township
Sirens:
11 ATI sirens, with additional plans for 5 more.

Newly discovered systems:
Region of Waterloo.
Woolwich Township.
Sirens:
Model 5, and two STH-10's in Elmira.
Model 3 or 5 in St. Jacobs.
Model 2 in Conestogo.
Model 5 or 7 in Maryhill.
Additional details:
New siren being installed at the community centre in Breslau in 2013.
Additional plans for more sirens for all towns and villages in the township.
Woolwich has and continues to pressure other municipalities in Waterloo Region to consider sirens. This includes the cities of Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge. Only the Elmira sirens are used for tornadoes attm, but they are testing and working out plans for the other remaining fire sirens.

very good list! Ive talked to a couple departments who are thinking of using there existing siren for storms or what not, or adding a siren. Wasaga Beach comes to mind, they have a model 2 on one of there two stations (Station 2) and want to maybe add one to there main station and use it for weather warnings.

Oh wow, I never knew Manitouwadge had a siren. That region does seem to get a fair amount of severe weather though.

Bump.

Google has updated their streerview to include Manitouwadge. The siren is a Model 5/7.

The siren in Lavigne, Ontario has been removed. Might want to remove it from the map.
