6. New Business
Sheila had a phone call in the summer from a Thornhill couple who'd seen a sign in
Ke1Tisdale that said Welcome to Southlands. They thought a similar sign welcoming
people to Thornhill was a good idea and brought it up at the Public Hearing with the
suggested location of 100th & 248th. Engineering provided them with the requirements
for road side signage. They've gotten a sign company to design a draft and are willing to
pay for its fabrication, but installation would need to be the municipality's responsibility.
► ACTION ITEM: Diana will follow up with engineering and members agreed they
should visit the proposed site. Sponsorship around signage was discussed and tabled to
following meetings.
