📣 Update: Landmark Sign Plans on Hold for 2025

We’ve heard your feedback about the landmark sign planned for Bannerman Park — and we appreciate everyone who took the time to share their thoughts. Based on this input, City Council has decided to pause plans for 2025 so we can review all suggestions and hold more community consultations on where the sign should go.

We want to use this opportunity to provide more information on the landmark sign and its intentions. While the sign will provide an opportunity for tourists to take photos, it is also a means to celebrate various social causes and special occasions with its colour-changing LED technology. It will also include decals on the sides and back, providing opportunities to highlight local art and enhance community pride.

Multiple potential locations on city-owned land were considered before recommending Bannerman Park. Factors such as pedestrian access, accessibility, visibility, safe proximity to the road, electrical and wifi availability, and adequate space for gathering and photography were key considerations. Bannerman Park was chosen as one of the city’s most beloved and vibrant spaces, drawing visitors year-round for its historical features, events, The Loop, outdoor pool, and proximity to attractions like the Colonial Building, Government House, and The Rooms.

Council acknowledges concerns raised by residents about the sign’s placement. Based on feedback received, the City will consider and re-examine alternative locations for the sign and ensure community consultation in this process.
