STEVE PAIKIN FROM TVO'S THE AGENDA Democracy is fragile. That's the thinking behind the Toronto Star and TVO partnership, The Democracy Agenda - an in-depth look at threats facing democracy here and abroad. Tune into TVO tonight @ 8pm or 11pm ET Stream on tvo.org The Town of Oakville is reviewing election sign regulations and is asking residents to provide their input. The short online survey is open until July 12 and is intended to help town staff develop recommendations for the town's sign bylaw. These potential revi- sions will be presented for council approval later this year. "I encourage residents to take five minutes out of their day to complete the online survey," said Mayor Rob Burton. "With an upcoming elec- tion in 2022, your feedback is vital in shaping election sign regulations in Oak- ville." The current sign bylaw includes some of the fol- lowing regulations: • Signs can only be on display for 45 days prior to election day • Sign support require- ments (wood posts with a diameter of two inches or less or metal posts with a diameter of 1/4 inches or less) • Restrictions on loca- tions where signs may be placed (not within five feet of a fire hydrant or only permitted on main roads) • Permit requirements (election candidates must apply for a permit, with a fee that is refundable if by- laws are complied with). Town staff said the questionnaire is anony- mous; however, residents will have the option to pro- vide an email address if they would like to receive updates on the review. A public information meeting on this matter is scheduled to take place in September. Staff will be presenting recommendations to coun- cil this fall.
