Signs of the times

We noticed that signs put up by Metrolinx around the construction site of the Scarborough subway extension were in English only. Metrolinx is a government agency and its communications, including signage, are required to be in English and French.

Result: We pointed these signs out to Metrolinx officials, who told us they had been in place for more than three years. They noted that since that time, the organization has committed to fully bilingual signage, and said that these signs were in the process of being changed. They noted that bilingual signs were recently installed near this site as part of the same project and that the new signs will be similar.
