CANORA – Canora residents and visitors alike have a new reason to enjoy the community.

On May 24, the Canora Tourism Fundraising Committee unveiled a pair of new signs at the entrances to town, one at the south end of Norway Road and the second at the north end. Funding for the signs came from events hosted by the committee, according to Brandi Zavislak, community development officer and committee member.

“These signs are back lit and will have a very bright white LED light on the Canora lettering,” said Zavislak. ”We also plan to plant some decorative shrubs and flowers that will compliment the signs nicely. Irontown Manufacturing did a fabulous job making these signs.”

She said the Canora Tourism Fundraising Committee has worked tirelessly to fundraise for the new town entrance signs.

“We have hosted numerous community events which promoted tourism and commerce in our community as a whole. The committee is extremely proud of this endeavour and looks forward to hosting more events and fundraising for community enhancement projects. We as a committee take a tremendous amount of pride in our community.

“Not only do our events draw in a significant amount of tourism and stimulate commerce within our business community, we are also improving our community at the same time. All of this is at no cost to the taxpayer. We are tremendously proud of this.”

“Our committee would like to thank everyone for attending our events and making all of our fundraising events a huge success,” concluded Zavislak.

The next fundraising event hosted by the Canora Tourism Fundraising Committee is Full Moon Friday, coming up this Friday, June 2, at the Canora Curling Rink.
