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.

LED Lit Monument Sign for Courtyards of River Heights in Winnipeg

May 28, 2026

When businesses are set farther back from a busy roadway, visibility becomes a major part of the customer experience. A well designed monument sign can help direct traffic, improve tenant recognition, and elevate the overall appearance of a commercial property at the same time.

For Courtyards of River Heights at 1580 Taylor Ave. in Winnipeg, the goal was to create more than a standard tenant directory. This custom LED lit monument sign was designed to give the property a stronger visual presence during both daytime and nighttime hours while keeping the layout clean and easy to read.

The sign features illuminated tenant panels paired with a bold vertical architectural element that helps the structure stand out from passing traffic along Taylor Avenue. Warm integrated lighting adds visibility after dark while complementing the modern look of the development.

Projects like this highlight how commercial signage can become part of a property's identity rather than simply functioning as a list of tenant names. The result is a sign that improves wayfinding while contributing to the overall presentation of the site.

This monument sign was fabricated and installed by Electra Sign Ltd. in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

ProActive Massage LED-lit Channel Letters

May 21, 2026

Electra Sign Ltd. fabricated and installed custom LED-lit channel letter signage for ProActive Massage Therapy at 567 St. Anne’s Rd in Winnipeg, MB.

While the finished signage appears clean and straightforward, projects like this often involve thoughtful refinements behind the scenes. When translating a logo into illuminated channel letters, certain design elements sometimes need adjustment to maintain readability, balanced illumination, and long-term fabrication performance.

For ProActive Massage Therapy, subtle refinements to portions of the logo helped preserve the personality of the brand while improving visibility from the street during both daytime and evening conditions. The darker outlines and clean white LED illumination created strong contrast against the building’s warm exterior finishes, helping the storefront stand out without feeling overly bright or aggressive.

The signage also reflects the atmosphere ProActive Massage Therapy aims to create for clients. Their clinic focuses on honest treatment, supportive care, and helping people move and feel better in a welcoming environment. Carrying that approachable feeling into the exterior branding was an important part of the overall project.

In addition to the building signage, the project also included updated illuminated pylon signage for the property, helping improve visibility for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic along St. Anne’s Road.

Projects like this are a good example of how effective signage combines branding, lighting, fabrication, and architectural integration into a single finished product.

Electra Sign Ltd. is proud to continue designing, fabricating, and installing custom commercial signage solutions throughout Winnipeg and Manitoba.
