Late Sunday afternoon, Alberta’s Transportation Ministry provided a statement to Global News to say it was aware of the prank.“Two-thousand people worked very hard to bring this project to completion and there’s obviously a lot of pride in that work,” a ministry spokesperson said. “It seems someone changed the sign as part of the celebrations, however, the wording is not the kind we would use and we had it changed immediately.”
