Canuck Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Today, reading a report, I noticed the term "Wayfinding". At it’s July 7th meeting the King Township Committee directed staff to develop an “Agri-Business Wayfinding Signage Program”. It’s basically a signage program by King Township for tourists to find the many agricultural businesses in the area. Couldn’t help but wonder (hope?) that Ontario snowmobiling moves in this direction as well. A concerted effort to improve signage.I didn’t realize that Wayfinding was a term (having snowmobiled behind “Wayfinder” Sledjunk for years ). Kinda like the idea for King Township and hope that it’s a plan adopted by Ontario snowmobiling in the future. (the "plan" is an acknowledgement that something is lacking, a group can benefit and a co-ordinated effort can produce results). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something like the tourism - lodges, campsites, motels etc. blue and white signs you see along the highways? Or something different.

Canuck Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Is this something like the tourism - lodges, campsites, motels etc. blue and white signs you see along the highways? Or something different. Yes, the article that I read had the traditional "white on blue" image. Interestingly, in digging deeper, I found an article from a King Twp. beekeeper that's unimpressed with the new initiative. He's practical and considers "policies" (and politicians?) stupid. He has a neat solution to a dust-up with the township over signs. They told him that his former sign 'breached' the by-law. So he installed art. http://www.yorkregion.com/news-story/4624894-king-twp-s-offer-to-sweeten-advertising-sign-rules-leaves-sour-taste-in-beekeeper-s-mouth/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No substitute for good signage. I never get lost... my wife always tells me where to go. When we are out riding however and I make a wrong turn then have to back track she never lets me forget it. If she is in front of me and makes a wrong turn that's okay though. I think she needs that class. The time I was wrong and my husband was right. - Real life testimonials.
