Post It Right

As a pilot project, poster kiosks and collars have been installed in certain areas of the City that make it easier to display posters.  Please see the attached poster map for their locations within the Downtown, International Village and Westdale Business Improvement Areas (BIA).

We appreciate you working together with the City of Hamilton to ensure posters are not a safety hazard (i.e. interfere with traffic safety) and assist in maintaining a clean and positive image for the City.

Permits are not required for displaying posters; however there are some guidelines that need to be followed.

Posters are permitted based on the following;

  • Only one poster advertising the same event/activity per pole/kiosk/poster sleeve or utility pole;
  • A minimum of 200m is required between postings;
  • Adhesive tape is used to attach the poster;
  • Is made of biodegradable material;
  • Does not exceed 28cm wide by 44cm high (11”x17”);
  • Posted no earlier than 21 days before the event and removed within three (3) days after the event

No person shall place any sign on a:

  • Tree;
  • Pole on any median, traffic island or centre boulevard;
  • Traffic signal or traffic control device

The City may remove and dispose of posters at any time, without notice or compensation. Kiosks and collars are cleaned and maintained sometime during the first week of each month.

McMaster School of the Arts – Free Lunchtime Concerts: Flute Force (Flute Quartet)

Founded in 1981, FLUTE FORCE has distinguished itself as America’s foremost flute quartet. As winner of the Artists International Competition, Flute Force was presented in its Carnegie Recital Hall debut in 1985. Musical America has called Flute Force “an extremely persuasive advocate for the flute quartet medium: four top-quality players in a perfectly balanced and expressive ensemble.” Flute Force has performed extensively in the United States and Canada maintaining a presence on the chamber music scene by offering innovative and varied programs, and continuing their dedication to virtuosic performances. They have mined the existing original musical literature, created their own transcriptions, and commissioned and premiered a substantial number of new works. Each performer plays all the flutes of the flute family: the piccolo, flute, alto and bass flutes-sometimes in a single concert.
