A committee compromised to select the new design says its “friendly, welcoming and sophisticated with emphasis to the key point of difference of Osoyoos – warm desert climate.”
Osoyoos mayor Sue McKortoff says the current welcome signs are old, faded and “look terrible.”

“Council felt that we needed to have nicer signs, so we’re happy with it,” McKortoff said.
McKortoff says “Canada’s warmest welcome” has been the official logo of Osoyoos for atleast a decade.
