Downtown area businesses can apply to display sandwich board signs, according to a City of Oshawa notice.
It said sandwich board signs are an affordable tool for businesses to advertise to visitors and community members, especially during the summer season.
The pilot project runs until April 1, 2023 and permits sandwich board signs in Central Business District Zones in the Downtown Oshawa Urban Growth Centre.
As part of the pilot project, business owners in the downtown area must apply for a permit to place sandwich board signs on private properties and within the public boulevard including the sidewalk.
Upon approval of the application, businesses receive a sign permit sticker from the city that is valid until April 1, 2023. There is no fee required for a sandwich board sign permit.
Business owners in the downtown area are encouraged to learn more and complete the online application form. For details and the application form, visit www.oshawa.ca/sandwich-board-signs.
