New Vernon sign has simple but important message

Apr 9, 2020 | 1:10 PM

A new sign that has gone up along the highway at Vernon’s southern entrance, is generating attention, which is a good thing.

The Funtastic Society has partnered with two local businesses on the sign that thanks frontline and health care heroes in the North Okanagan.

Funtastic general manager Akbal Mund told Vernon Matters it’s a way to be positive and show support to the community during a difficult time.

“There are so many people still working to provide services to benefit others,” Mund said.

He said that includes a long list of workers — everyone from health care personnel and first responders, to truck drivers, grocery staff, security guards and delivery people.

Sunshine Auto Graphics and Sproing Creative were partners on the sign located next to the tourist information centre across from the Department of National Defence land.
