Sandwich Board Advertising
If you wish to use a portion of the sidewalk in front of your business to advertise using a sandwich board sign, you need to apply for a temporary street use permit that identifies this use.
A sandwich board sign is usually an “A” frame sign that is not secured to the sidewalk in any manner. It does not have lights, moving parts, and does not require electricity.
Restrictions
- The size of the sign and locations where it can be placed on the sidewalk are specified in Schedule I of the Clean Property Bylaw No. 9881 .
- You will have to provide proof of general liability insurance, and in some cases, also general automobile liability insurance.
- Only 1 sandwich board sign is allowed per business.
