Canadian question I suppose- does anybody know has the George Brown Signmaking program shut down? Or has it moved? Or is there such an animal anymore?

I got in touch with the college. The woman said she has been there 4 years and never heard of the program. So is there no signmaking programs in Canada at all anymore?

Yes Deri it merged with a generic graphics program about 10 years ago. However I don't think they put much effort into teaching sign specific skills.

A few years ago Niagara College in Welland put a sign program in place. I haven't heard anything about it since the initial launch. It's pretty hard to get a teenager intersted in a college program that leads to actual physical labour!
