The Signage Regulation Bylaw is intended to enhance the attractiveness and economic well-being of the Village as a place to live, visit, vacation and conduct business. It is also intended to reduce the dangers of construction and installation of unsafe signs or signs that may create a traffic hazard.

All signs, unless exempt from the bylaw, require a permit. The Protective Services Officer reviews sign permit applications, including sandwich board signs.
