The Poster Bylaw in Saskatoon is all about making sure posters can be put up in a way that’s safe, clean, and doesn’t clutter up the city. It allows people to share information while keeping things organized and easy to navigate.
The bylaw also makes sure people can’t cover up posters that are still good and in the right spot. If the rules are broken, fines can range from $200 for a first offence to $1,000.
Poster Requirements
Posters can only be placed on specific spots like community bulletin boards and poster barrels within the Broadway District.
Size of Poster: A poster must not exceed 11 inches by 17 inches in dimensions.
Date: A poster must include the event date (or when the poster was installed).
Fastening Devices: A poster may only be attached with clear packing tape or other easily removable tape.
Number of Posters: Only one poster for each event or advertisement may be attached to a poster barrel at a time.
For elections, there are extra rules on when posters can go up and when they need to come down— to learn more, contact the Broadway BID office.
Removal of Posters
In general, all posters are taken off on the first Monday of the month. However, posters have to come down within 30 days or when the event is over. Election posters need to be taken down within 7 days after the event.
