businesses, visitor accommodations and hotels. Their facilities feature large-format printers, a CNC router, and a state-of-the-art paint booth. With a strong infrastructure and extensive industry contacts, CanSign can take on larger projects than most shops their size. Lonnie is proud of CanSign’s ability to tackle creative challenges. “We’re always working on unique projects that require fresh approaches,” she says. A notable example is the interior signage for Canmore’s Elevation Place, where they used eco-friendly materials like bamboo, low-VOC paints, and recyclable vinyl. This commitment to sustainability and innovation keeps CanSign ahead in the industry, ensuring every project is completed with precision and creativity. Part of CanSign’s success stems from their strong community and industry connections. As active members of organizations such as the Bow Valley Builders and Developers Association (BOWDA), Banff & Lake Louise Hospitality Association, the CFIB, and the Alberta Sign Association, they stay informed about developments in their community and industry. Lonnie emphasizes the importance of these memberships, explaining that they help the company remain engaged and aware of issues affecting small businesses. This involvement also underscores their commitment to supporting and strengthening the local economy. Recognition for their work is another hallmark of CanSign’s achievements. Over the years, the company has received multiple awards, including the Mayor’s Award for Best Architectural Signage, which highlights their expertise in producing visually stunning and functional signs.
