The SFN Beach Advisory Committee, with the continued support of Chief & Council, is relaunching the Saugeen Beach Sign initiative in a new and exciting way.
While we did not receive submissions in the initial call-out, we remain committed to ensuring this project is community-inspired and community-led.
We are now inviting Band Members to submit a concept or idea for a unified Gateway Entrance sign that will be installed and used consistently across all four beach entrances.
Rather than requiring a bull design, we are asking for your ideas, themes, symbols, words, or artistic direction that reflect
- Saugeen First Nation’s culture and identity
- The meaning of “Chi-Gmiinh” (Big Water)
- Our connection to the land, water, and future generations
Selected concepts will be incorporated into a final professional design, developed in collaboration with a designer, and installed as a permanent gateway feature as all entrances.
Concept submissions chosen through a community vote will receive an honorarium of $500.
This is your opportunity to help shape a lasting symbol that welcomes visitors while honouring who we are.
More details on submission guidelines and timelines will follow.
Submission deadline: February 27, 2026
Drop off at Governance Building or email curscheler@saugeen.org
