The Town of Canora operates three highway sign corridors on the outskirts of town. There is a north sign corridor located on the north entrance of Highway No. 9, a south corridor located at the south entrance of Highway No. 9 and a west sign corridor located at the west entrance on Highway No. 5. Only Canora-based businesses are permitted to rent space in the corridors. The north and south sign corridors are currently full. There are a few available spots on the west corridor. If you would like to rent a spot or be placed on a waiting list, please contact the Community Development Officer.
