Over time, posters get covered by other posters and are periodically removed by City Sanitation crews.
Note: It is illegal to place posters on utility poles that have no poster cylinder, or on any other area of City property. Posters placed illegally will be removed and discarded weekly and violators may be prosecuted.
Poster cylinders provide an aesthetically-pleasing arrangement of posters in visible locations, and reduce the burden on taxpayers when posters need to be removed from City property.
Advertising signs on City property are allowed only if the City guidelines for their placement are followed:
Third-party signs are strictly prohibited on, and will be confiscated from centre medians, utility poles not equipped with a poster cylinder, boulevards, or any other area of City property.
If you are with a public agency or provide a program at a community centre, you can have brochures or posters displayed and distributed at City community centres.
When preparing your materials for distribution:
Drop off or mail brochures and posters to:
