Sign By-law Review

The current Sign By-law 6999/09, as amended, was passed by Council on November 16, 2009.

The objectives of the Sign By-law are:

• Reasonable means should be available to the public to erect signs on property in order to identify facilities, businesses and services located thereon.
• Signs should not create any distraction or safety hazard for pedestrians or motorists, or create any other danger to the public.
• Signs should not create any adverse impacts on adjacent public or private property.
• Signs should not detrimentally alter the physical appearance and architecture of any building.
• Signs should not create unnecessary visual clutter due to their size, number or location.
• Temporary signs should be strictly limited in order to limit the visual impact on the built environment and the consumption of resources.
