The current signs are made of wood and contain the words 'Welcome to Alberta' and, underneath, 'Wild Rose Country' with the picture of a wild rose placed just beside.
There are currently almost two dozen welcome signs dotted around the province, from the southern border with the US all the way up to the Mackenzie Highway on the northern border with the Northwest Territories.
The new signs will reportedly be made out of metal and will be shaped like the province.
The province's minister of transportation, Devin Dreeshen, says that what the signs will read is still undecided but promises whatever is decided will be a hearty welcome to those ...
