From CBC News - October 2nd, 2023: "At 12 o'clock, a handful of towns hear the blare of sirens installed decades ago", Residents of some #Alberta communities are familiar with a rather noisy notice that it's noon. The ear-splitting wails are the sounds of sirens that were installed decades ago. Some are civil defence sirens — also known as air raid sirens — that were set up early on during the Cold War. Other sirens were put in by fire departments as a way to summon crews to an emergency. "As annoying as it is, it's a part of everyday life, especially in small towns," said Sarah McEwan, who works in a store underneath the siren in Thorsby, Alta. Thorsby, a town of fewer than 1,000 people located about 70 kilometres southwest of #Edmonton, has a civil defence siren, one of more than 120 installed in Alberta communities to warn citizens in the event of a nuclear attack. There were about 1,700 such sirens in Canada by the mid-1960s, according to the Canadian Civil Defence Museum website". Can you guess the Siren anyone?
