The first "Border Marker" was a post installed by Canadian National
Railway
near their station. It took a sharp-eyed passenger to notice it
from the train window.
Locals didn't give it much attention and over the years it succumbed to
neglect and abuse.
[It's shown standing just to the right of the rectangular sign above.]
Now, thanks to Gene Ewanowich of
Signs by Gene, along with
Streetscapes and the
City of Lloydminster, it has been
replaced by
the bright new marker and a small surrounding park above.
