\"\"<\/p>\n

Montreal currently has extremely restrictive postering by-laws. Postering is allowed on construction hoardings (which are private property) and on private properties that give permission, but that’s about it. These spaces are dominated by large-scale commercial postering. There is very little public space for postering which would be accessible to non-corporate advertisers, creating constant tension between those who need to advertise and the authorities.<\/p>\n

It’s a small step in the right direction. Read all about it in the Montreal Gazette<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
