You might want to try contacting Eric Applegarth in the exhibits department at CBMM.  They made some great signs (text and photograph based) this summer for an outdoor exhibit there.

Greetings All,

I am in the process of designing interpretive signs for an historic site
and am wanting to solicit opinions as to the best way for having these
signs made. They will be text and photograph based and will have to stand
up not only to the elements but also to vandalism as the site attracts a
lot of undesirable attention after dark. What is your experience? How
inexpensively can a good, durable sign be constructed? Also, if you happen
to know of signmakers in Canada and, specifically, in Manitoba, this would
be invaluable advice. Thanks in advance.

Adrian
