The newest town in Alberta is selling its BIG old welcome signs
The newest town in Alberta has thrown its old welcome signs up for auction, thanks to it receiving a new name in a merger two years ago.
The town of Diamond Valley came to life on January 1, 2023, when the two towns of Turner Valley and Black Diamond decided to link up and become one.
If you are looking for a cool relic from Turner Valley and Diamond Valley, the town southwest of Calgary has thrown up some of the old welcome signs for auction.
Five signs are currently up for auction on GovDeals, an online auction platform that deals with government agencies and manages the sale of their surplus inventory.
