Street Sign Capper
The banner on our web site uses our Street Sign Capper. The City of New Westminster helped design the capper. The logo depicts the M for Massey, V for Victory and H for Heights. The red maple leaf in the form of a torch protrudes from the center and represents our Canadian Heritage. The Poppies along the base represent our Veterans who first settled in the community after the Second World War.
Through initial funding from the City of New Westminster in 2006, we were able to manufacture 25 sign cappers. The initial thought for installation was the 35 entry points along the perimeter of our neighborhood. After reviewing the map of our Association by the executive it was decided to distribute the twenty-five signs to have one sign on each street. The City of New Westminster made these signs and installed them in the Spring of 2007.
Six [6] additional signs were sponsored by residents. There are 75 street signs in our neighbourhood where we can install these cappers. A total of 31 cappers were initially installed in 2007 which leaves 44 locations waiting for a sponsor.
A physical inventory of these sign cappers was completed July 1, 2024. and we are sorry to report six of the original signs have gone missing or stolen. Please report any activity you may see where these signs are being removed to the city via the SEECLICKFIX app as it will cost your association to have these sign cappers to replaced.
To foster community, as our mission statement indicates, a campaign was launched in the spring of 2024 to get more exposure in our association boundaries. As a result, were able to get an additional 22 sign cappers installed throughout the neighbourhood. Once installed they are installed this will leave only 22 locations anxiously waiting for sponsorship.
