Banners and flags

We allow local business associations, non-profit groups, charitable organizations, and special events organizations to install street banners and flags in Vancouver. These can be used to promote the local business area or a special community event.

Banner installation safety and scheduling

To keep workers and the public safe, banner installers must follow mandatory safety regulations, including those for Worksafe BC, Ministry of Transportation, and Translink/Coast Mountain Bus Company. 

Once your dates are confirmed, your banner installers (contractors) must apply for a temporary street occupancy permit to work on street-right-of way. Allow 2 to 3 weeks in advance of installation to avoid delays.
