Safe internet exchange zone now available in North Battleford
The City of North Battleford now has a safe area for people to exchange goods purchased online through buy-and-sell sites.
The area is located in the parking lot of the North Battleford Fire Department, at 902 104 St. It is open 24/7, and has video surveillance. Two parking spaces have been set aside for the exchange site.
The zone is the first in North Battleford, while similar zones are available in Saskatoon and Prince Albert.
The idea of creating a safe exchange zone gained steam last September after a man was robbed at gunpoint while trying to sell a phone.
