City of Canby Banner Policy

City of Canby Banner Policy

The City of Canby has two locations for banner placement, the intersection of N Grant Street at NW 1^st Avenue and above the Wait Park gazebo. Banners must advertise events located within Canby city limits. For banners located in Wait Park, the event must be located within Wait Park. Banners will be displayed for one week prior to the event.  The Banner Reservation form is located at the bottom of this page.

Reservations:

Yearly events sponsored by the City of Canby will take precedent over community events. These events are: Canby Independence Day Celebration, Canby’s Big Night Out Street Dance, Canby Spooktacular Village, and Light Up The Night.

Banner reservation periods are established in 1 week time blocks and will be first come, first served. The deadline for reservations is at least 1 month prior to the date the banner will be hung. Banners may be hung no more than 2 times in a calendar year.

Permit Application:

Applications for banner reservations can be submitted to Emily Sasse via email at SasseE@CanbyOregon.gov, or in person at City Hall, 222 NE 2^nd Avenue, Canby OR 97013.

Banner Materials and Size Requirements:

Grant Street Arch Banner Size Requirements:

• Length:
  • Minimum 12 feet
  • Maximize 24 feet
• Height: 30 inches

Wait Park Banner Size Requirements:

• Length:
  • Minimum 10 feet
  • Maximum 12 feet
• Height:
  • Maximum/Minimum: 2 feet

The banner must be made of substantial material, such as canvas. Heavy duty reinforced grommets must be installed in all four corners of the banner and along the top and bottom edges. The grommets should be approximately 1/2 inch from the edge of the banner and should have an opening of approximately 1/2 inch. To reduce wind resistance, we recommend the adding "wind holes" by cutting semi-circular "U"-shaped flaps 6 to 9 inches in diameter which will open along the bottom edge when the wind blows.

Banner Placement and Removal:

Development Services staff will coordinate the banner drop off. Banners are normally placed and removed on Mondays, unless otherwise discussed prior to the placement. If Monday is a holiday, this will occur on the following workday. Banners should be delivered to Public Works (1470 N Territorial Road) after application and payment is received.
