Inspiring Signage at Thelma Chalifoux School – A Community Connection

Fostering Community Through Creative Signage at Thelma Chalifoux School

At PosterTech Group, we believe that our work goes beyond simply creating signage—it’s about fostering a deeper connection with the community. When we had the opportunity to collaborate with Thelma Chalifoux School, we knew it was going to be something special. Working within local schools and seeing the impact of our designs on students and staff alike is a reward in itself. Thelma Chalifoux School, named after a respected Métis senator and leader, is a place of learning, inspiration, and cultural significance, and we are proud to have contributed to enhancing its atmosphere with custom signage.

Creating Meaningful Signage for Thelma Chalifoux School

Schools are more than just buildings—they’re the heart of a community. At PosterTech Group, we understand how vital it is to create environments that are not only functional but also visually inspiring. From large-scale projects to fine details, every piece we create tells a story. Thelma Chalifoux School’s signage project was especially important to us because it allowed us to incorporate cultural pride, school spirit, and motivational messages into one cohesive design.

Highlighting Key Projects

Indigenous Crest Panels in the Atrium and Office

One of the most significant features we were honored to work on was the installation of Indigenous Crest Panels. The four large panels, proudly displayed in the school’s atrium, measured 44” x 68”. These digitally printed full-color designs were printed on the second surface of 1/4″ clear acrylic, with raised text fabricated from 4 mm white acrylic, and mounted on stainless steel standoffs.

The meaning behind these crests is deeply connected to Indigenous heritage, and they serve as a powerful symbol of cultural respect and acknowledgment within the school environment. The smaller, yet equally impactful, Indigenous Crest Panels (15” x 23”) were mounted in the office, giving both students and visitors a constant reminder of the school’s commitment to cultural inclusivity and education.

Senators Wall Signage

Thelma Chalifoux School prides itself on its legacy, and the Senators Wall Signage is a testament to that. Spanning 108” x 32”, this bold and commanding piece was crafted from 1/4″ acrylic and mounted on stainless steel standoffs. Its design honors the school’s mascot, the Senators, and reinforces school pride.

Sport-Themed and Inspirational Wall Graphics

Walking by the gym at Thelma Chalifoux School is an experience in itself, thanks to the vibrant sport-themed wall graphics we installed. These dynamic graphics energize the space, inspiring both athletes and spectators. Sportsmanship, teamwork, and physical excellence are all captured within the designs, turning ordinary walls into motivational displays.

Throughout the rest of the school, inspirational wall graphics were placed strategically in high-traffic areas. These graphics, featuring empowering quotes and messages, are from the popular TV character Ted Lasso and real-life inspiration, Thelma Chalifoux herself. They offer moments of reflection and encouragement to students as they go about their day.

STEM Wall Signage

One of the standout pieces of this project was the STEM Wall Signage, measuring 90” x 45”. Made from brushed aluminum Dibond, this signage celebrates the school’s dedication to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The sleek, modern design reflects the innovative spirit of the students who walk these halls. The letters and symbols, carefully printed on the brushed aluminum surface, lend a sense of permanence and importance to the subject matter, reminding students of the exciting possibilities that lie ahead in the world of STEM.

Our Commitment to the Community

We are passionate about supporting our local schools and organizations. Being involved in projects like the one at Thelma Chalifoux School reinforces our commitment to community and education. We recognize the influence that our signage can have on both the physical environment and the people who interact with it. That’s why we take every project to heart, knowing that the final product will become part of a lasting legacy.

Creating specialty signage for schools isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about leaving a positive mark on the community. Every time we work with an institution like Thelma Chalifoux School, we see firsthand how our signage can inspire and uplift students, educators, and visitors. Whether it’s through cultural representation, school spirit, or motivational design, we are proud to be a part of shaping these spaces.

Community Contributions

Working with Thelma Chalifoux School has been a truly rewarding experience for the team at PosterTech Group. From Indigenous Crest Panels that celebrate cultural heritage to STEM Wall Signage that sparks curiosity, each piece was crafted with care and attention to detail. We’re proud to be part of a project that enhances the learning environment for students while also contributing to the broader community.

As we look back on the work we’ve done, we’re reminded of the importance of our role in shaping spaces that inspire, motivate, and educate. And with each new project, we continue to build on our commitment to supporting schools and the communities they serve.
