The Chamber of Commerce is currently working with the Town of Bruce Mines to put
together a signage package. The purpose of this package is to create a theme for
the area which will hopefully increase the number of people who choose to stop
in Bruce Mines.
Signs play an important role in any town or city by giving direction to
people who are not familiar with the area. When people are not aware of where
they are able to go and what they are able to do, they simply keep driving.
This poses a large problem for tourism-based businesses. If it is possible to have
signs in the right locations which help to attract more visitors to this area,
sales will be increased.
By setting standards for signs and suggesting various improvements to the
local businesses regarding their advertising, we hope to increase the standards
of the signage in the Bruce Mines area.
The diagram below is the first business sign to follow the theme. The
Foster's Freshmart sign gives an impression of the theme that we are trying to
follow. It contains raised letters with various background pictures.
