At Forillon National Park in Gaspe, Quebec, kilometres of trails along beaches and through the forest host everyone from casual walkers to hikers completing the last leg of the Appalachian Trail. At various sites in the park, visitors can find panels illustrating the area's natural wonders and ecological importance. https://www.altoaluminum.com/signs

Watching over the past few months as countries have opened back up, it’s become clear that we are not interacting with the world the way we used to.

These past few months have been a challenge as we and so many others have been dealing with the impact of Covid-19. As we slowly and safely get back to the new normal, we’re hopping back on social media. This is a time for real creativity and innovation and we are so excited to move forward with our clients and colleagues.

Things are changing at such a fast pace these days. On the first day of spring, let's focus on recharging our creative sides as much as possible. http://ow.ly/99x050yQ6IE
