White Rock tsunami sirens?

Hi, I am just posting this because I have been trying to hunt down as many sirens as possible in my home province of BC. While digging, I found out that White Rock, or the surrounding area may have a tsunami siren system. However, I have not been able to find any photographs of it, let alone, the location. Any help with locating these seemingly non-existent sirens, and maybe any more sirens in the lower mainland is greatly appreciated. :D

I found (what I think is) a Model 2 in this little cupola thing but I doubt it's a tsunami siren.

Nearby Blaine has this thing:https://www.google.com/maps/@48.9940099 ... 384!8i8192
But Blaine is on the other side of the U.S. border so may be out of interest for you.

I wasn't able to locate anything for White Rock however I found other British Columbia sirens such as this Modulator on Cox Bay Beach

https://www.google.com/maps/@49.1004058 ... 704!8i4352

(It looks like a white blob on satellite imagery)

Location : Image Attached Below!

I also found another Modulator at Chesterman Beach

https://www.google.com/maps/@49.1221537 ... 376!8i2688

(You can see this one on satellite view! It shows as a pole with a blob on top.)

Location : Osprey Beach House, Near Chesterman Parking lot. Alongside the beach.

EDIT : I Forgot about this article! https://www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com/n ... in-tofino/ , this should be semi-useful in a way.

None of those are anywhere near White Rock
It takes 5 hours to get from Tofino to White Rock.

As far as other sirens in the lower mainland, there's a Mobil Directo at Victoria Park in Vancouver, and an active model 5/7 used as an alarm at the Cargill Grain Terminal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFoBREw4A4Q https://www.google.ca/maps/@49.3061919, ... 384!8i8192 The Hydroelectric dams in BC all have sirens too, the one in my town has Model 2s, not sure about other ones.
