Happened to notice today while checking the AlertSite website for Sarnia, ON that there was another siren test today due to new sirens being installed on North Wellington Street. Is anyone able to snap a photo of the new sirens and maybe include a model name? If not I am going up there this weekend so I could try to take a look!
Thanks!

Couldn't they be ATI's as well? I know some parts of Ontario have ATI's.

I am going to assume that these new sirens are either Whelen WPS or FS Modulators? Does anyone have any additional leads?
Sarnia is mostly ATI's, I would think they stuck with them.

Sarnia installed 5 new dual tone ATI sirens yesterday in areas north of Wellington Street.
Official press release indicates there are now 15 sirens in the Sarnia area which includes 3 in Aamjiwnaang, 3 in Corunna, 1 in Point Edward, and 8 in Sarnia.
When I was in Sarnia last month there was a new ATI at the Walmart on Modeland and Exmouth, and there has been a new ATI in downtown on Maxwell and Christina since April. If they installed 5 new sirens just yesterday in Sarnia, that should mean there are now 10 sirens in Sarnia and 17 in the area, because one of the new installations was replacing a 2002 model ATI siren near Bluewater Hospital.

Replacing an ATI that's barely pushing twelve years. Definitely not the first coming from ATI.

The siren that was replaced only had two sets of horns pointing south and west. They wanted a full unit in that spot to cover the centre of the city.

It's possible they relocated that siren somewhere else.

Some new info on the sirens, The City of Sarnia conducted siren tests for all municipal sirens 3 days in a row! We will have to wait and see what sirens they are once myself or someone confirms the model!

Most likely. I saw one on a new pole while entering Sarnia via the Lambton College entrance.
