City will upgrade the aging but wildly popular Toronto sign

The City of Toronto will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) next week to begin the process to secure a new, more durable Toronto sign on Nathan Phillips Square. It is a well-known attraction and a wildly popular spot for selfies and group photos among residents and visitors alike. The original sign was installed on the public square in front of Toronto City Hall as a temporary structure in July 2015 for the Toronto Pan American and Parapan American Games. Although it was only built to last a few weeks, in response to the sign’s popularity the City extended its presence on the square indefinitely and it has become a Toronto landmark.
