Filming Policy review

The County created the current Filming Policy (CM-2024-03) in 2024. The policy guides how filming companies operate in small communities. It includes rules for notifications, traffic and parking controls, filming hours, noise limits, road access, and support for residents and businesses.

It has been one year since the policy came into effect and we want to know more about your experiences with filming in the County of Brant since the creation of the policy. Your feedback will help determine if the policy needs updates and what the updates may be.
