k.d. lang’s sign is the first honouring an individual at the museum, which has primarily featured signs from Edmonton’s commercial history. This latest addition underscores the city’s commitment to honouring local icons and making history accessible to all.
The honour came as lang prepared for induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame at the 2024 CCMA Awards.
