Apply for a film permit
You must have a film permit to film on public property within the City of Greater Sudbury, unless you’re filming current affairs, newscasts, or personal recordings. Filming is regulated as per the by-law 2020-065.
You will also need to complete an application if your production requires road occupancy/closures, changes to traffic or the urban landscape, includes excessive noise, special effects, or impacts neighbouring residents or businesses.
Our permit process will take you through the required:
- Expenses and fees
- Insurance and safety measures
- Road closures and interruptions
We’ll provide you with an estimate of costs before issuing your permit.
