Sleeping Giant will welcome visitors to Thunder Bay

Lee Koopman has been hired to design and build the city's welcome signs.  3 signs will be placed at gateways to the city, including the Highway 11/17 entrance at Shabaqua, the Highway 61 North-bound entrance, and the Thunder Bay Airport.  All three signs show the sleeping giant, but each one showcases a different natural attraction.  The Thunder Bay airport sign will showcase boats on lake superior, the highway 61 sign will show the boreal forest and the highway 11/17 will showcase the northern lights.  Many councillors were upset that Dawson road was excluded from the project.
