Helping a Church Stay Connected with an Electronic Message Centre

July 23, 2026

For churches, communication extends far beyond Sunday morning. Worship services, youth programs, community breakfasts, seasonal events, retreats, and volunteer opportunities all depend on keeping people informed.

Fort Garry Mennonite Fellowship Church has been doing exactly that for decades. Since its beginnings in the late 1960s, the congregation has grown from a small group meeting in rented facilities to an established church serving approximately 200 members from its home on Bayridge Avenue in Winnipeg.

To support that ongoing communication, Electra Sign Ltd. fabricated and installed a custom Electronic Message Centre monument sign that combines permanent branding with flexible digital messaging.

Unlike traditional signs that remain unchanged for years, an Electronic Message Centre gives organizations the ability to update information whenever needed. Whether announcing worship times, promoting youth activities, inviting the community to seasonal celebrations, or sharing special events, the display keeps messages current while maintaining a professional appearance.

For organizations like Fort Garry Mennonite Fellowship Church, the sign serves as more than an identifier. It is another way to connect with neighbours, welcome new visitors, and keep the surrounding community informed about what's happening throughout the year.

A well designed monument sign creates a lasting first impression, while the digital display ensures that message continues to evolve with the organization it represents.

At Electra Sign Ltd., we enjoy building signage that supports not only our clients' brands, but also the communities they serve.

Why Investing in Quality Signage Continues to Pay Off Years After Installation

July 2, 2026

Phoenix Square Sign Still Shines Years Later

Not every sign tells its story on installation day. Some tell it years later.

Our custom LED illuminated channel letter sign for Phoenix Square, located at 1765 Kenaston Blvd, Unit E in Winnipeg, is a great example of why quality commercial signage is a long term investment.

When this project was fabricated and installed, the goal was simple. Create signage that would provide strong visibility, complement the building's architecture, and continue representing the business well for years to come.

Today, that investment continues to pay off.

The illuminated channel letters remain bright and clean, demonstrating how premium materials, quality LED components, careful fabrication, and professional installation contribute to long lasting performance. While every sign experiences Manitoba's changing seasons, well built signage is designed to withstand those conditions while maintaining its appearance.

For business owners planning new signage, it is worth looking beyond the initial price tag. A sign that continues looking professional years later often provides greater value than one that requires premature repairs or replacement.

At Electra Sign Ltd., we believe every project should be built with longevity in mind. From engineering and fabrication through installation, our team focuses on creating commercial signage that performs just as well years down the road as it does on opening day.

Whether your project calls for LED channel letters, illuminated building signs, monument signs, or custom architectural signage, our goal remains the same. Build quality signage that reflects your business for years to come.

EMPTY CUP LED-Lit Channel Letters in Winnipeg

June 11, 2026

Some storefront signs need extensive adaptation to work effectively in the built environment. Others arrive with a visual identity already perfectly suited for signage. That was the case with this LED-lit channel letter project for EMPTY CUP at 130, 15 Cooper's Town Rd in Winnipeg.

Electra Sign Ltd. fabricated and installed illuminated channel letters that carried the café’s bold branding directly into the storefront. The clean typography and recognizable circular logo translated naturally into dimensional signage, creating strong readability both during the day and after dark.

The finished installation complements the modern exterior of the space while giving the business a sharp nighttime presence along Cooper’s Town Rd. Bright white LED illumination keeps the sign highly visible without overwhelming the clean architectural aesthetic of the building.

Founded in Winnipeg in 2020, EMPTY CUP has grown from a small garage coffee roaster into a recognizable local café brand known for specialty coffee, nitro cold brew, and community-focused experiences. Their emphasis on creativity, connection, and quality made this project a great fit for a clean, minimal signage approach.

Projects like this highlight how effective branding and thoughtful fabrication work together to create signage that feels seamless with the business itself.
