Page 6, News, Wednesday, July 6, 1988 Universal S Clear and consistent symbols will soon distinguish a network of new or upgraded travel informa- tion centres and picnic/rest stops across Northern Ontario. The improved facilities will result from an Ontario govern- ment, five-ministry program called NOTICE -- the Northern Ontario Travel Information Centres Enhancement Program. NOTICE will renovate exist- ing travel information centres, help construct new ones and train counselors in their operation. The program will also create more than 100 new or upgraded picnic- rest areas. Graphics that will guide tourists to the enhanced facilities incorporate symbols widely used throughout North America and beyond, ensuring easy recogni- tion by the travelling public. A triangle surrounding a ques- tion mark indicates a tourist information centre. A stylized picnic table identifies a picnic area/rest stop. These primary graphics and pictographs indicated specific site services (telephone, washrooms, etc) have been approved by an international graphic arts insti- tutes and are the result of exten- sive research. The green/yellow/grey. colour combination is consistent with the color scheme used for provin- cially operated travel information centres, and will be reflected in exterior finish of NOTICE-fund- ed centres as well. With 10 NOTICE projects already approved, the new sym- bol-signs could begin appearing in Ontario's north as early as this summer. By the summer of 1989, they will welcome tourists across the provincial north. "NOTICE will have contribut- ed $15 million to Northern Ontario travel by 1991," said Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation Hugh P. O'Neil. "The result will be a first-class wel- come for everyone travelling Ontario's Incredible Northland." "Consistent visual identifica- tion and straightforward graphic information throughout the pro- gram will ensure the travelling public enjoys full benefit of the new facilities." he said.
