Residents invited to have their say until April 2

The Town of Whitby is seeking community feedback on a proposed by-law that would regulate the size and placement of election signs in the community during elections.

Whitby’s next municipal election takes place in fall 2022.

The By-law’s Goal:

• to respect the need for candidates to advertise to electors while reducing sign clutter
• protecting vehicle and pedestrian sight lines
• decreasing driver distraction related to signs
• achieving a more environmentally-sustainable election

Between now and Friday, April 2, residents can share their feedback on the proposed Election Sign By-law by completing an online survey at connectwhitby.ca/electionsignsurvey

Feedback will help to inform Council’s April 19, 2021 decision on whether to approve the new by-law.

If passed, the by-law would apply to election signage on roads and private property for municipal, provincial, federal and school board elections.
