A landmark in downtown Saskatoon may be replaced rather than repaired.

For decades, the Kinsmen Park sign has arched over the park's entrance at 25th Street. However, in recent years, the sign's paint has begun to fade.

After the city looked into the costs of disassembling, repairing and re-installing the sign, it was decided that replacing it would cost less.

The new sign is expected to maintain "the nostalgic appearance of the original sign."

The city's municipal heritage advisory committee will be talking about the issue at its next meeting.
