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.

In a world where first impressions happen in seconds, businesses are looking for ways to stand out and connect with customers more effectively. One of the most powerful tools making this possible is the Electronic Message Centre (EMC). Paired with interactive display technology, EMCs are transforming storefronts, community spaces, and event venues across Manitoba and beyond.
Traditional signs are permanent and fixed—but EMCs bring your brand to life with customizable, real-time content. Whether it’s a time-sensitive promotion, a community announcement, or weather updates, EMCs allow businesses to adapt their message instantly.
For restaurants, that could mean switching breakfast specials to dinner features at the tap of a button. For retail, it might be showcasing limited-time offers as inventory changes.
Interactive digital displays take things a step further. Touchscreens, QR code integration, and motion-activated visuals allow customers to engage directly with your content.
Community organizations can display event schedules, donation updates, or local news.
Municipalities can share emergency alerts, traffic information, or cultural event promotions.
Retailers can invite customers to explore products, learn about services, or sign up for loyalty programs—right on the spot.
Flexibility: Update content anytime without the cost of reprinting.
Visibility: Bright, high-contrast LED technology ensures your message stands out day or night, rain or shine.
Engagement: Eye-catching animations and motion draw attention faster than static signage.
ROI: Targeted messaging means better conversion rates and stronger brand recall.
At Electra Sign, we design and install EMCs built to handle the extremes—whether it’s -30°C in January or +30°C in July. Our systems are engineered for durability, clarity, and consistent performance in all conditions.
Whether you run a single storefront or manage signage for an entire network of locations, digital and interactive signage lets you control the narrative in real time. And with Electra Sign’s expertise in design, fabrication, and installation, your EMC will be more than a sign—it will be a dynamic extension of your brand.
Thinking about going digital?
Our team can guide you through every step—from choosing the right EMC to creating content that keeps your audience coming back.

St. James Assiniboia Centennial Pool, a fixture in Winnipeg’s community for over 50 years, has recently undergone a transformation. The indoor pool, which was built in 1967 to celebrate Canada’s centennial, has been given new signage that highlights its history and importance to the community.
The new signs, which were installed near the pool’s entrance, provide info on pool events. The signs also include information about the pool’s hours of operation, rules and regulations, and other important details that visitors need to know before they dive in.
The new signs are not just a visual improvement, they also help to create a safer and more enjoyable experience for visitors. The updated information on the signs will help visitors better understand the rules and regulations of the pool, which in turn will help maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.
In addition to the new signage, the St. James Assiniboia Centennial Pool has undergone a number of other improvements in recent years. The pool has been repainted, the changing rooms have been refurbished, and new picnic tables and benches have been added to provide visitors with a comfortable place to relax and enjoy their time at the pool.
The St. James Assiniboia Centennial Pool is a much-loved and well-used facility in the community. It’s a great place for families to enjoy a day out, for friends to catch up and for individuals to exercise and swim.
