Heritage Toronto puts up signs in this style at various interesting or significant locations around the city. They used to be cast in metal but were often stolen by thieves who sold them for scrap so now they are using glass which actually works well with a solid base behind it. This sign tells the story of Davenport Rd and how it was an old trail used by indigenous populations for thousands of years. Its original name seen on the sign has now been added to the street signs too.Taking part in Signs2. Click HERE to see signs from around the world.

Good idea. Why not here. I don't know.
Great solution to the problem of anything bronze being stolen. We need to adopt that solution here in Edmonton!
Being used as an old trail for possibly centuries deserves a plaque.
...it's a classy sign filled with information!
