2.3 Documentation

2.4 Changes to schedule

Changes to the production schedule that become necessary as a result of unforeseen circumstances will be accommodated as quickly as possible. However, the Location Permit may be withdrawn if, in the opinion of the Film Liaison Officer or MC or designate, there has been substantial deviation from the project description without prior approval. The Municipality of Port Hope will not be responsible for any costs due to the withdrawal of permission. Approval may be re-instated after the issue has been resolved to the satisfaction of all sides.

Please advise the assigned Film Liaison Officer or if not assigned the Marketing & Tourism's Filming Administrator of changes to production schedule as soon as possible, preferably prior to date(s) of filming.

3. Filming Guidelines

3.1 Frequency

Location filming on streets in residential areas will be limited to two occasions per year for each residential block.

3.2 Limitations (days, hours of filming)

Permits for filming on streets in residential areas will be permitted only between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., except on Sundays when no filming will be permitted, unless otherwise approved by the affected residents.

Permits authorizing filming on streets in residential areas between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. will not be approved unless all affected residents have been notified in advance.

3.3 Traffic Flow

No interference to pedestrian or vehicular traffic is to occur without being noted on the permit and previously approved by the MC or designate. Intermittent road closures of up to 3 minutes may be made by the police officer(s) assigned to the project. Closures longer than 3 minutes require formal and prior approval of the Municipality of Port Hope Council. The Film Company may be required to post road or curb signs to notify oncoming traffic that filming with intermittent stoppages is occurring. Alternate routes or detours may be required and will be determined by the Municipality in conjunction with the Film Company.

3.4 Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV)

The use of 'remote control' aircraft (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle – UAV) for commercial purposes such as aerial photography/filming requires a Special Flight Operations Certificate issued through Transport Canada. Once the film company informs the Municipality of Port Hope Film Liaison Officer that a UAV will be used in a film shoot, a site meeting between Transport Canada, local police and fire services will be scheduled to discuss the details of the proposed flight. The film company must notify area residents and businesses in its letter of notification that filming will involve use of a UAV.
