The notorious misspelled sign that was spotted near Big White last week has seen its last day.
After the 乌鸦传媒楰ootney Boundry乌鸦传媒� sign grew attention on social media, a request was made to the B.C. Ministry of Infrastructure as to how this error occurred and when it can be fixed.
乌鸦传媒淚t was clearly a mistake and the sign should not have been installed,乌鸦传媒� said ministry spokesperson Danielle Pope.
乌鸦传媒淭he ministry is responsible, the sign is being removed (on Aug. 6) and a replacement sign has been ordered for installation later this week.乌鸦传媒�

Though the sign was brought to the attention of both the regional District of Kootenay Boundary and the ministry late last week, the sign was reportedly installed in the spring.
The sign is only a few kilometres away from a correctly spelled sign on Highway 33.
Mike St. Clair, who made the original post on Facebook pointing out the sign, was originally concerned because the sign, and its replacement, is a waste of taxpayer money.
