2020 OLA Lawn Signs Promotion

The OLA Lawn Sign Promotion is now available for clubs throughout Ontario. Lawn signs are a great way to announce your club's registration and promote the sport within your community. The promotion period ends on Friday, January 31st, 2020. Sample signs are attached below - congratulations to Innisfil, Lincoln, Northumberland and Windsor for being the first four associations to order lawn signs for the 2020 season!

The cost for all orders in before the January 31st  deadline is $200.00 for 100 lawn signs & wire frames. Signs must be picked up in Toronto (from the OLA Office; DVP & Wynford Drive). The OLA will invoice your club directly.

The OLA can also assist clubs with lawn sign design. Using a standard template, the OLA will customize local club information to create print-ready artwork. We can customize the look for box, field or women’s field by using:

    Primary club colour
    Club logo
    Club website URL

Turnaround for design and pick-up at the OLA Office is five business days. Any clubs wishing to customize lawn signs for their organization can contact Jeramie at jeramie@ontariolacrosse.com.
