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.

Navigating Landlord Guidelines with Custom Non-Lit Channel Letters for South Winnipeg Eye Centre

June 26, 2026

Every commercial property comes with its own unique set of rules. When business owners look to install exterior branding, they quickly discover that municipal zoning bylaws and landlord lease agreements heavily dictate what can and cannot be placed on a storefront. Navigating these constraints requires a sign partner who understands how to balance strict compliance with strong brand visibility.

A few months ago, Electra Sign Ltd. completed the fabrication and installation of a new exterior sign package for South Winnipeg Eye Centre, located at 5-1500 Dakota St. For nearly three decades, owner Joceline Krzyszczyk and her dedicated team have provided exceptional eye care and affordable products to the Winnipeg community. When updating the storefront branding for this established clinic, the physical design needed to reflect their professional reputation while adhering strictly to local property guidelines.

The property restrictions for this specific Dakota Street location required a non-lit signage approach. Instead of traditional internal LED illumination, our design and fabrication teams focused on deep dimensional depth. We manufactured high-quality non-lit channel letters that contrast sharply against the building facade. This style utilizes natural daylight and ambient site lighting to create soft, defined shadows, giving the storefront a clean and highly legible appearance.

Whether your business requires a vibrant illuminated display or a sophisticated non-lit solution dictated by landlord constraints, Electra Sign Ltd. provides the technical expertise to guide you through the process. From initial site permits to final installation, we ensure your business stands out while staying fully compliant.

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.
