After a competition was held last year to select a new city slogan for the City of Morden,  "City of Discovery'' was selected and has recently been added to the 'Morden' sign east of the community.

"It looks absolutely great. As you recall we had some controversy over the original sign in there. It was taken down at the request of the sponsor," said Mayor Ken Wiebe.

From then on the city held a competition to allow the residents to submit and vote on what they wanted welcoming message to say.

Wiebe explained similar to when the city hosted the Esso Cup, they can temporarily replace the slogan with something to promote an event the city if sponsoring/hosting.

So far the reaction from everyone has been positive.

"Social media is flooded with pictures of people with Bruce and the Morden sign behind it," added Wiebe. "It's all in promoting the community. Lets face it Bruce is an outstanding member of the community. I'm hoping people enjoy having the opportunity to have their picture taken with Bruce."
