-
does not obstruct any business or service from being identified
-
is compatible with the surroundings
-
is regulated to balance the right to expression with the purpose of the By-law
A Sign Permit can be obtained from the Building Department for a fee (fee details in Fees and Schedules).

Sign Variances
Where it has been determined that a variance to the sign by-law is required to establish a proposed sign, a sign variance application and associated fee (fee details in Fees and Schedules) can be submitted for review and consideration by the Planning and Development Department.
Applicants for sign variances must establish that their sign proposal meets the intent of the by-law as set out above, in order for the sign variance application to be approved.
