FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Workshop
SUBJECT: True North Fraser Signage Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Maple Ridge Agricultural Advisory Committee has been collaborating in the creation of a shared
brand to promote agricultural products in Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, and Mission. This began as a
relatively small project. However, due to its strategic importance, it has been leveraged with federal
and provincial funding. Initially, the other partner in this program was the Pitt Meadows Economic
Development Corporation. Subsequently, Provincial funding was provided in recognition of this
initiative as a pilot project under the BC Jobs Plan. The culmination of this project has been the True
North Fraser Brand identity intended to raise local awareness of agriculture-related businesses
(promoting farms, farm stands, artisans, agri-tourism events and activities). A website
(www.truenorthfraser.com) has been developed that highlights participating businesses. A key
feature of the website is a free downloadable application that is easy to view on a computer screen
or a smart phone. The next step in this project is to launch a sign program in the District of Maple
Ridge that will feature the True North Fraser logo on private property and provide directional guide
signs on roadways to approved facilities.
The City of Pitt Meadow has rolled out their True North Fraser Sign Program in summer 2013 with
the intent that Maple Ridge and Mission would also develop signage programs using the same logo.
Pitt Meadow’s program can be divided into two parts; signs on municipal rights of way and signs on
private property.
Maple Ridge staff believe there is a need for a consistent signage program which requires
involvement from more senior agencies to address sign placements outside of municipal jurisdiction
on corridors such as the Lougheed Highway and Golden Ears Way. For this reason, the suggested
approach is to immediately launch the sign program on private property, and to encourage senior
agencies to adopt a consistent road directional sign program in support of True North Fraser
branding.
This project involves collaboration between the Engineering Department, Operations, the Strategic
Economic Initiatives Department, Licences, Bylaws and Permits, and the Planning Department. In
keeping with a consistent regional signage approach, the District has adopted the Provincial Service
and Attraction Sign Manual as a tool in providing service directional signs. This document is a
provincial document that features typical services and attractions normally required by the motoring
tourists. The True North Fraser Signage program emphasizes local agriculture and agri-tourism,
which are not currently a category in the provincial sign manual. However, it should be noted that
several Provincial Ministries were involved in development of the True North Fraser Brand and have
committed to assist where needed in to implement this program. For this reason, with Council
direction, staff will recommend to the Province that the Provincial Service and Attraction Sign Manual
4.3
2
should be updated to reflect these activities, which are recognized as permitted farm uses in the
Agricultural Land Reserve and therefore should have widespread provincial support.
This report outlines key elements of the proposed sign program, and provides a recommended
approach for Council’s consideration.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. That the True North Fraser Signage program be endorsed as outlined in this report dated
November 4, 2013 and titled “True North Fraser Signage Program”; and
2. That agencies, including the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Jobs, Tourism & Skills
Training, Destination British Columbia, Ministry of Transportion, Translink, Tourism Maple
Ridge & Pitt Meadows, Vancouver Coast & Mountains Tourism, the Invest North Fraser
Economic Partners, and the Agricultural Land Commission be requested to support updating
the provincial Service and Attraction Sign Manual to better reflect current provincial
initiatives as they relate to value added agricultural enterprises.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
The signage component of the True North Fraser Agriculture Signage Program is indentified in two-
parts, road signs and an option for farmers/growers to place a sign on their private property. Key
components include the following:
o True North Fraser private property signage.
Through an annual True North Fraser sign application process, qualifying
participants (including farmers, growers, processors, merchants, and agri-
tourism operators) will be able to apply to have up to two True North Fraser
signs for placement on their property. These signs will include the True North
Fraser logo, the True North Fraser URL (www.truenorthfraser.com), the name
of the farm and a directional arrow. These signs will be roughly occupy a
space of about 61 cm by 77 cm (2 feet by 2.5 feet), and be elevated at a
height of 38 cm (15 inches) above grade.
o True North Fraser signage on Municipal, Provincial and Translink rights of way.
This portion of the program will need further collaboration with affected
agencies. Typically municipal road signs complements senior agency signs
and most desirable start point locations are not within municipal jurisdiction.
The overall goal is to create a consistent signage program pertinent to the 3
affected municipalities. These signs will include the True North Fraser logo,
the True North Fraser URL (www.truenorthfraser.com), a pertinent description
such as ‘Farm Sales’ and a directional arrow.
Participant criteria:
Operations in Maple Ridge with agriculture-related products are eligible for the True North Fraser
Signage Program. The business must be primarily engaged in agriculture as a business and have
their products available locally, either seasonally or year-round. Farms must provide their products
for local sales, either through an on-site market, the Haney Farmers market, or other locally
identifiable location.
3
The business operation must be in compliance with all applicable municipal bylaws, including a
business licence, if required, in order to be eligible for this program. Following an initial municipal
scan for compliance, a review by a subcommittee of the Agricultural Advisory Committee would
confirm eligibility.
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome of the True North Fraser Signage Program is to provide a cost effective
marketing program for local agricultural initiatives. An essential part of this program will be to
establish and maintain a consistent message of the quality of local products.
c) Strategic Alignment:
Initially, the branding project was launched through the shared resources of the Maple Ridge
Agricultural Advisory Committee and the Pitt Meadows Economic Development Corporation.
Additional funding was provided to the project from the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism, and Skills Training.
This pooling of resources has enabled development and delivery of the brand and its web-based
application.
This innovative project and the signage program has generated significant interest across the
Region. The Manager of Strategic Economic Initiatives will be presenting the True North Fraser
Program at the Metro Vancouver Regional Food system roundtable on November 20, 2013.
The True North Fraser Signage Program aligns with the Economic Development section of the
Corporate Strategic Plan. Key Strategies of the Corporate Strategic Plan include the following:
Support the retention and expansion of existing local businesses that add to the
quality of life in Maple Ridge
Build a sustainable community that includes a balance of land use types
Develop and maintain high quality promotional materials to attract investment and
employment
Preserve natural assets that could positively contribute to economic development
Enhance the trail systems so that they can be used to enhance economic
development
Citizen/Customer Implications:
Maple Ridge residents consistently place a high value on the District’s rural character. The True
North Fraser Signage Program will assist in improving the market opportunities of rural enterprises,
particularly in market segments such as direct to consumer, value added, and agri-tourism.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
In addition to the Maple Ridge Planning Department and Agricultural Advisory Committee, this
signage program has been considered in collaboration with Strategic Economic Initiatives,
Engineering, and the Licences, Bylaws and Permits, Department. It is anticipated that the municipal
signage portion of this program will involve the Operations Department in the installation of signs on
municipal property.
In recognition of the community benefit provided, the Sign Bylaw will be amended to include the True
North Fraser Signage program in its “no fee required” schedule. A sign permit will be required, along
4
with inspection services to ensure that appropriate siting of signage is provided in order to m aintain
visual sightlines and minimize hazards along roadways.
Locations for roadway signs will be determined at a later date in collaboration with senior agencies.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The creation of a brand was a noted priority in the the Maple Ridge Agricultural Plan, which was
endorsed by Council in 2009. The Maple Ridge Agricultural Advisory Committee identified an
opportunity to collaborate with Pitt Meadows Economic Development Corporation towards the
advancement of shared goals. These goals include promoting local economic initiatives as they
pertain to agriculture.
The True North Fraser website (www.truenorthfraser.ca) will support the signage program as an
electronic guide with directory style listings that will enable qualifying Maple Ridge agriculture
operations to feature their business name, address, contact details, google map, website and social
media URLs. The website is intended to be the go-to resource for individuals looking to source True
North Fraser agricultural products, activities, or events in Mission, Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows.
The Maple Ridge Agricultural Advisory Committee has been involved in the creation of the True North
Fraser Signage Program since its inception. A program launch in March 2013 was positively received
within the community.
Signs placed on private property will be paid for by the property owner. The Maple Ridge Agricultural
Advisory Committee will also be including a signage program in their annual budget for the
placement and maintenance of roadway signs.
f) Policy Implications:
The Maple Ridge Official Community Plan and the Maple Ridge Agricultural Plan contain policies and
recommendations that supports the True North Fraser Signage Program. Policy 6-8 a) and d) of the
Official Community Plan state the following:
Maple Ridge will work cooperatively with senior levels of government and other agencies to
promote agricultural business opportunities by:
a) aligning land use bylaws to permit supportive nonfarm uses such as agro-tourism, bed
and breakfasts, and on-farm sales;…
d) promoting the demand for, and sale of, local agricultural products within the
community (e.g. farmer’s market, on-farm marketing, District food and plant material
procurement policies);
In a similar vein, Goal 3c (Improve the Knowledge Base of the Consumer Public) of the Maple Ridge
Agricultural Plan states the following:
Encourage retailers to advertise and identify locally produced seasonal products.
g) Alternatives:
The sign program proposed in this report differs from the one initiated by the City of Pitt Meadows in
that prior to embarking on providing directional road signs, collaboration with senior agencies will be
sought for developing a consistent sign approach on provincial and translink roadways. This
approach has been recommended to ensure consistent direction signs application with the other
5
road authority and to reduce sign clutter on municipal roadway. On-site indentification signs may
proceed immediately with private property owners.
Council may prefer an approach more similar to the one taken by Pitt Meadows, and may provide
direction accordingly.
CONCLUSION:
This signage program is part of a larger initiative to improve local rural economic activities by
featuring quality local agriculture. This portion of the program will raise public awareness of
agricultural products and tourism opportunities. Integrated with a web-based application
(www.truenorthfraser.ca), the proposed sign program offers a cost effective means for small,
medium, and large scale producers within the District to market their products directly to consumers,
or to outlets selling their products. This report outlines a recommended approach for using the
brand in order to reach the motoring public.
