| Garage sale signs |
| If you would like to advertise a garage sale, you can place signs on public property 24 hours before and after the sale. We ask that you do not place signs on the 98 & 99 Avenue boulevards to avoid harming the underground irrigation system. |
| Residential Way-Finding Signs for New Neighbourhoods |
| The City in collaboration with the four major residential land developers created a Wayfinding signage program for developing new neighbourhoods back in 2014. This program establishes a branding of wayfinding signage that can be posted within city road rights-of-way to direct the public and future residents to our community to the developing neighbourhoods and showhomes. The program also outlines the process for the land developers to apply for permission for additional signage as needed. Download the Developer Signage Requirements & Application Form |
