The Halifax Regional Municipality’s by-law S-800 is focused around the requirements for licensing temporary signs. This by-law, along with all other by-laws, must be followed by Dalhousie societies. This specific by-law is of importance for you and your society due to the advertising that has occurred in the past. Under the by-law all forms of signage (including but not limited to posters, sandwhich boards, banners, mobile signs, and planter box signs) that are placed without a license on city property has the potential to result in a fine. The fines range from $250 - $10,000 and your society will be responsible for paying the fine if charged. Also any affiliated groups/individuals on your advertisement can also be charged (example – a member from the Spanish Society places a poster on a lamp post advertising that the event is being held at the Grawood. The individual who placed the poster, the society, and the Grawood could all receive fines). Please make yourself and your society members informed on this by-law and the reprecusions that can come from it.
