📍 It’s here! The St. John’s landmark sign is now in place near the Mary Brown's Centre, and now we want to hear what you think. 👀

This temporary installation gives residents and visitors a chance to see the sign in person, experience its scale and design, and help us determine the best permanent location.

The sign is lit and can change to different colours to recognize social causes, special occasions and community events throughout the year. We are still fine-tuning the lighting, so for now, it will be lit in red and white while we make the final adjustments.

A special shout-out to the City of St. John's in-house artist and graphic designer Charlie Dunphy for creating the artwork featured on the back of the sign. 🎨 Charlie’s work adds a local touch and helps showcase the creativity that makes our community special.

📆 Public engagement is open until September 18.

The sign will remain at this location through the fall while we gather feedback.
