Public Consultation Meetings Notice
Toronto Sign By-law Project

The City of Toronto is preparing a new sign by-law. It will replace the individual sign by-laws of the former municipalities. The new sign by-law will update the standards for signs on private property, address current sign issues, and reflect the diverse character found in Toronto communities. The Sign By-law project will also explore ways where signage will support the City’s efforts in energy conservation and revenue generation.

The first round of consultation has concluded and an interim report and presentation containing issues and options for the new sign by-law has been heard at a special meeting of Planning and Growth Management on December 8, 2008. At the meeting, public and stakeholder submissions were made and Councillors provided direction to help steer the project into the second round of consultation. At this second stage, a series of public consultation meetings are being held to give residents and businesses an opportunity to provide their comments and ideas on the issues and options presented in the first report. This information will be used to develop appropriate measures in the new sign by-law to effectively regulate signs in Toronto.

Following this second round of consultation, a draft sign by-law will be presented to Council.
