Project signage guidelines

Placing signs at construction sites is a long-standing practice to communicate key project details to the public. Through project signs, Canadians can easily recognize where federal infrastructure investments are being made in their communities.

Below you will find links to information about the federal signage guidelines that apply to all of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada's funding and transfer programs. The guidelines also apply to any new signs being installed at infrastructure projects that are jointly funded with the Government of Canada under any previous federal infrastructure application and transfer-based funding programs.
