WEYBURN - The City of Weyburn has introduced updates to its portable sign bylaw to ensure clarity, safety and consistency for portable sign usage across the city.
These changes will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2025, with a three-month grace period ending on March 30.
The updated bylaw includes placement guidelines, ensuring signs are safely positioned near sidewalks, driveways and streets.
There are also restrictions on size and height to maintain visibility and aesthetics, and requirements for annual permit validation stickers for all portable signs.
“This update to the portable sign bylaw was designed to balance the needs of businesses with public safety and accessibility,” said Shara-Lee Malcolm, planning and development coordinator.
“We encourage all businesses and organizations to review the changes and ensure compliance during the grace period,” she added.
After March 30, any portable sign without a valid permit sticker may be subject to fines.
Businesses can visit the City of Weyburn’s website for full details on the changes, and learn how to apply for or renew their permits.
