The installation of street banners is limited to charitable organizations or in the promotion of community activities. Street banners are not permitted as a form of advertising for religious or commercial gain.

All costs associated with the manufacturing of street banners are the responsibility of the applicant. Street banners must be made according to the City of St. Catharines’ specifications.
