The city of Miramichi will be adding two new tourism signs, on both the east and west ends of the city.

Jeff MacTavish, the city’s economic development and tourism director, said the signs will be double-sided, illuminated, and feature the city’s Discover Miramichi brand.

The city set aside $70,000 dollars in the 2022 capital budget for the signs, and MacTavish said the request for proposals will likely be issued in the coming weeks.

City Councillor Veronique Arsenault compared the idea to the iconic Las Vegas sign, and said she hopes tourists will take photos with the signs once they are installed.
