Quick Facts
The recently completed Founders Walk project is a re-creation and expansion of the 1988 Founders’ Promenade, which acknowledged the contributions of some of St. Albert’s early settlers.
The Situation
Founded as a Metis settlement by missionary Father Albert Lacombe, St. Albert is a city that is rich in history. The Founders’ Walk serves as a walk through the city’s history and ties together several historic, cultural, educational and commercial facilities.
The Founders’ Walk project consisted of the fabrication of 15 large interpretive sign frames which were installed at rest nodes to form part of the newly created trail extension.
IMARK’s Approach
We were asked for assistance with the completion of the sign frames which were to be fabricated out of steel and then powder-coated. After reviewing the drawings IMARK’s design and fabrication teams approached the client to see if they would be interested in building the frames out of powder-coated stainless steel to extend their longevity. With no additional cost to the customer this change was approved and the signs were installed across St. Albert by SG Landscaping in the fall of 2016.
