Jarvis Design and Display Ltd. has been going strong for 46 years. The company is known for creating signage and in-store wall graphics that appear all across Canada. From store signs outside local grocery stores to washroom graphics or direction signs inside an office building, Jarvis Design and Display has done it all.
Jarvis Design and Display Began in an Ottawa Basement
Jarvis Peacock began her business in her mother’s basement, making snowflake cutouts for seasonal window displays. After a successful first contract, her Ottawa-based business slowly grew to include other signage and creative design.
Jarvis learned the skills she needed as her business expanded. In 1980, she moved the operation to Kemptville in eastern Ontario. She has employed up to 75 people at one time, keeping them busy with design and installation of signage, not only across Ontario but all over Canada.
Jarvis Design and Display signs can be seen in some of the most iconic Canadian brands and landmarks, including:
- The Bay
- LCBO
- No Frills
- Real Canadian Superstore
- Royal Ottawa Hospital
- Treasury Board of Canada building in Ottawa
