Sign Bylaw

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as Dieppe has watered down their proposed sign bylaw that would have compelled new, exterior signs on commercial enterprises in the city to be in French or bilingual.

City council decided last night that the final wording on the bylaw will state that new outside signs on businesses in the city must be bilingual, with French first.

Mayor Jean LeBlanc, a strong backer of the original bylaw, wouldn't say he was disappointed in the amendments, but rather described it as a victory for democracy. During the public consultation process regarding the original proposed sign law, there was much opposition by those who thought it was too onerous for a city to dictate the language on signs on private businesses, with the majority of those opposed stating they'd have no problem at all with a bylaw that dictated bilingual signage.

"So I feel good," LeBlanc said after last night's meeting.

"It was an exercise in democracy."
