New Home for Meat Market Sign

On November 22, 2018, the Alberta Meat Market’s neon sign, which had been in place for over half a century, was carefully removed from the cinderblock exterior of its building. The sign has since been restored to functionality by LA Noen with the help of gracious donations from Pat and Hollie Carroll and will now be displayed in the Galt’s Discovery Hall.
