Welcome Sign – Community Involvement At The Sign Depot’s Grand Opening
Signing In And Signing Up For Community Involvement
We invited family members, clients, friends and Mayor Carl Zehr to see what goes on inside our new sign shop located at 51 Borden Ave S. Kitchener, Ontario, formally the Doon Twines building. This historic building, now owned by Access Storage, has been re-purposed but many of its heritage features were kept intact. This makes a perfect match for our traditional wood signs.
We demonstrated a few of our custom sign making techniques such as guilding and and let them have a sneak peak of some of our upcoming sign projects. This CNC demonstration showed how a sign design begins on the computer Then gets cut on the router tableto become a custom 3 dimensional sign
We had a great time and it looks like our attendees did as well. More importantly we filled all the boxed for the Food Bank and it was all contributed to the local Dig In Campaign For The Food Bank Of Waterloo Region.

A New Local Community Involvement Campaign And How It Involves The Sign Depot
The Sign Depot Is Involved
The Food Bank of Waterloo Region is holding a large local campaign here in the Kitchener Waterloo area to increase awareness of the need for Food Donations here in the Tri-Cities.
DIG IN Food Drive has a goal of 150,000 lbs & The Sign Depot pitching in to help!
On Friday May 14th The Sign Depot will be a registered drop off site for The Food Bank Of Waterloo Region Dig In Campaign. By contributing your Food Bank Donation here at 51 Borden Ave S location your non perishable food items will be included in area wide the DIG IN Campaign.
What’s Involved In This Campaign?
What do you get in return for your generosity? How about a FREE BBQ beginning at 1pm & a chance to meet Mayor Carl Zehr at 4pm? We are holding this in conjunction with The Sign Depot’s Grand Opening. With our recent move we wanted to take this opportunity to thank our local community for their continued support of our artistic sign business, and give them a behind the scenes look at how we manufacture custom signs.
We hope you will come by, donate to the food bank, and learn a little more about The Sign Depot and all the sign services and business solutions we have to offer. Let us know we can count on your non perishable food donations by emailing Lisa accounting@sign-depot.on.ca
Looking forward to seeing you pop by Friday May 14th 2010 for an afternoon of sign making information, food bank donation and a lot of celebration.
