Filming in Haldimand

Haldimand County is a growing destination for the film and television industry and we are committed to assisting with these projects in our community. Our team can help with selecting a location, applying for permits and complying with local regulations.

For more information and to get started, contact our economic development team.

Filming permits

A film permit is required if your production is located on, or affects the use of public property (such as a road, sidewalk, park or facility). If you’re filming on private property, regulations may still apply and we encourage you to contact us to ensure compliance. 

Filming guidelines

All filming requests must be submitted, at minimum, 5 business days before filming begins. If the project involves road closures or special effects, then submission is required at least 10 business days before filming.

Depending on the nature of your project additional approvals may be required from our Roads, By-Law and Emergency Services divisions, and/or provincial entities such as the Ontario Provincial Police and Ministry of Transportation.
