We have all seen them; colourful flag signs advertising a sale, a portable sign advertising that "help wanted - please apply within," or a sandwich board sign advertising today’s menu special.

Temporary signs dot our landscape, communicating timely and essential information, however, before one is placed on a property, anyone wanting a temporary sign must contact the Town’s Planning & Development Department so they can confirm if a permit is required before placement.

Signs, temporary or permanent, and all uses and development that occur within the Town, are regulated through the Land Use Bylaw. The rules surrounding temporary signs are located in Part 5 of the Land Use Bylaw, which addresses matters such as the maximum amount of time the temporary sign can be placed, and setback requirements.

If you are not sure if your sign requires a permit, call us at 403-885-9679 (option 2) and we can help!
