Tourists, truckers and others travelers could soon be greeted by new Welcome to Alberta signs when they cross into the province.
The government is planning to replace its nearly two dozen square, wooden signs on all highway entrances from the north, south, east and west — with placards shaped like Alberta.
A request for proposals issued earlier this month provides few other details about the new signs. Although it notes using wood again isn’t an option.
Last year, the government announced it would be dropping the Wild Rose Country phrase from licence plates in favour of the province’s official motto, Strong and Free.
The are also to sit on elevated pedestals to thwart vandals, the document says.
They could also have solar-powered lighting, although it’s listed as optional.
