Election sign bylaw
On April 1, 2026, Council received a briefing note regarding the election sign bylaw update. The bylaw now allows election signs to be permitted after a candidate has filed their nomination and are certified by the Town Clerk, or in the case of a registered third party, after they are registered with the Town Clerk. Therefore, election signs can be placed as early as 4 p.m. on the Monday following Nomination Day. Nomination Day (as defined in the Municipal Elections Act) is the final day that nominations can be filed, which is Friday, Aug. 21, 2026 at 2 p.m. The Clerk must certify all nominations by 4 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 24, so signs can be placed as early as Aug. 24 at 4 p.m.
