Canada Summer Games leaves Winnipeg a sign

The next time you wake up and don't remember precisely where you are, all you need to do is visit The Forks.

A 2.5-metre-high "Winnipeg" sign will be installed next to Festival Stage at The Forks on Wednesday to serve as a permanent selfie magnet and city landmark.

The Canada Summer Games host society covered the $120,000 cost of the sign, which president and CEO Jeff Hnatiuk said "will stand as a reminder of the 2017 Canada Summer Games for years to come."

• Toronto sign will light up Nathan Phillips Square until at least November
• Should the city put this HAMILTON sign in front of city hall?

The sign will be illuminated for the first time on Saturday.
