Melfort Museum unveils new signage ahead of busy summer

Mellon said the new design features the main Powerhouse building, but in an updated and versatile way. There are also multiple different logo versions that have been developed that gives the museum more flexibility for future signage, promotional materials, social media, and other marketing opportunities.

The weather may have also played a factor in speeding up the decision to develop a new sign. Mellon said a windstorm earlier this year damaged the previous sign.

“The sign increases the museum’s visibility and gives the Powerhouse a fresh, professional look,” Mellon explained. “It stands out from the street and helps make the building more welcoming and recognizable to visitors.”

The refresh comes as the museum preps for a busy summer. The museum will be hosting a National Indigenous Peoples Day event on Thursday, June 18, in partnership with Reconciliation Melfort and the North East School Division. Students will visit during the day, and the event will open to the public at 4 p.m. The Office of the Treaty Commissioner will have their Treaty Timeline display during the event, and there will be crafts, cultural activities, and more.

School tours will take place throughout the remainder of the school year at the museum, and guided tours will be offered through the summer. The museum will also host Melfort’s Canada Day celebration, a free event from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 1. Barbecues will also be held each Wednesday during the summer, and the Time Warp summer program will begin in July for children ages 6 to 12. They will also be open during this year’s Melfort Exhibition and will be hosting a Medieval Festival on July 19.

The museum expansion project will also continue through the summer as they look to focus on finishing the interiors of their two newest buildings, which will become a newspaper office, bank, and the telephone office. Meanwhile, Paul Thompson’s 1928 Model A has been offered on loan to the museum, and it will be featured in the parade next month.

Volunteers are needed for Canada Day, the Exhibition, and other events, and you can contact Brenda for more details at melfort.museum@sasktel.net or at 306-752-5870.
