What is a popup?

Last reviewed 2026-06-27 · About a 2 minute read

A popup is a place and time where supporters can come and pick up a free lawn sign — a community hall on Saturday morning, a volunteer's driveway after work, a table at a local fair.

Who runs them

Any volunteer can create and run a popup. The volunteer who creates it picks the place, sets the open hours, and says how many signs are available.

Where supporters find them

Every popup you create appears on the public Forever Canadian website. Supporters browse the popups near them, reserve a sign, and come by during the open hours. They never need an account on this team app to do that.

What you'll see on a popup's page

Each popup's page shows the name, the address, the open dates and times, how many signs are available, and a status banner telling you whether the popup is Live on Forever Canadian. Once it's live, you also get the public page link and a Poster code you can print and post around your neighbourhood.

Open on more than one day

A popup can be open on several days. Each day has its own Opens and Closes time, all in Mountain Time (Alberta). Add a row for each day the popup is open.

Signs available

The signs available number is how many lawn signs you have on hand at that popup. You set it when you create the popup and can change it any time from the Adjust signs available section on the popup's page.

Keeping a popup up to date

You can rename a popup, change its hours, add or remove a day, or adjust the signs available whenever you need to. Changes re-publish to Forever Canadian on their own, and any link a supporter already has keeps working.
