5. Locations:

For all Municipality of Port Hope location shoots a Film Liaison Officer is mandatory and will be contracted by the Municipality; the cost of the Film Liaison Officer including relevant expenses will be borne by the Film Company.

5.1 Filming on private property

There are over 250 properties in Port Hope designated under the Heritage Act. Many of these make excellent film sets. Filming that is confined entirely to private property with all vehicles contained within that property requires that all affected residents (to be defined by the MC or designate), businesses, and the appropriate elected officials should be notified at least 7 business days in advance by the applicant of the duration, location, and subject matter of the filming and, if necessary, a meeting arranged with any of the above parties to review details of the location filming.

5.2 Filming on Municipality of Port Hope property

Filming on private property but infringing on or directly using Municipal properties or roads requires the approval of Municipal officials as directed by the MC or designate. In addition, affected residents (as defined by the MC or designate) will be notified. Please refer to attached sample letter (Appendix G). A film permit may not be granted if there is significant objection from residents.

5.3 Filming in the Downtown Heritage Business District

Special provisions are in effect for any shoots in the area bounded by the corners of Mill and Ontario Street, Mill and Peter, Pine and Augusta, and Pine and Walton. Please see Appendix E for HBIA terms, conditions and fees in relation to filming in the Downtown Heritage Business District and Appendix F for a map defining the HBIA area.

In the event the film company contravenes any provision of this policy and in particular any provision of Appendix "E" attached to this policy, the Film Liaison Officer will advise the film company of the contravention and the film company shall remedy the contravention immediately, failing which any permission that has been given to the film company pursuant to this policy may be withdrawn forthwith.

The certificate of Insurance shall include the HBIA as a named insured.
