As proposed changes to provincial sign regulations and municipal sign bylaws began to heat up in Manitoba, a new relevance for protection re-emerged in 2008. Industry leaders from across the province knew the time had come to band together in an effort to prevent the ratification of changes that would negatively impact the Sign Industry. In February 2009 there was a reformation of the Manitoba Chapter of the Sign Association of Canada.

The Goal of the Manitoba Chapter of the Sign Association of Canada is to become a first point of contact for any regulatory body seeking to revise their signage regulations. The Manitoba Chapter will remain accessible at all times to the regulatory bodies on all levels and use our varied and extensive backgrounds to promote equitable and beneficial service as required. To promote harmony and trust between the various levels of government and the industry is paramount.

Testimonials

The SAC-YPN conference was fantastic because we could meet, network, and learn from like-minded individuals in our industry. I enjoyed hearing about other people’s day-to-day activities and what their role in the business was. I talked to project managers, sales executives, installers, graphic designers, estimators, controllers, and business owners. It was great to see people’s passion for the sign industry throughout all levels of an organization.

I found the DISC assessment very valuable for my day-to-day interactions. We learned what personality profile(s) we had, and how to interact with other personality profiles. We discovered the most effective ways to approach other personality types in the workplace (and in life) and communicate to achieve a common goal. One important take-away for me was that being your authentic self requires less energy, so you can easily burn yourself out in the workplace if you do not communicate in an efficient and effective way with other personalities.

- Connor Snyder, Account Executive, Electra Sign Ltd. | 2023 YPN Conference Delegate

Attending the 2023 YPN Conference was an excellent experience for me. I am very grateful that I was able to participate and meet other young professionals in the sign industry. It was overall a great experience. Going forward, I am confident that what I have learned, and the connections I have made, will prove beneficial for myself, my career, and the others that I have networked with. Thank you very much for this opportunity.
