UPDATE: The Capital Regional District has paused its plans to change the entrance sign at Thetis Lake Regional Park after community members voiced disapproval of the new design.
Since late December, the regional district has been replacing signs at some regional parks that are nearing the end of their service life with new signs that it says are more durable and less expensive to maintain.
"What a massive downgrade devoid of all character and earthy elements," reads a popular comment on the CRD Facebook post showcasing the new design.On Wednesday evening, the CRD responded on social media saying that the new designs were more resistant to UV light, corrosion and vandalism. "However, as wood signs tend to do, they decay over time and require increasing staff time and resources to stay legible, functional, and safe," the CRD wrote.
