Hamilton Film Liaison Office
“Reel Choices, Reel Locations, Reel Service”
The Hamilton Film Liaison Office (HFLO) is committed to assisting you in all aspects of your film project. We can help
from the initial looking stage until your final wrap. This level of service will be at no cost to you or your production.
Exciting things have been happening in our community. Filming in the City of Hamilton continues to reach record levels
each year. Production companies and film crews had 1,000 prep, shoot and wrap days in Hamilton in 2003 and glowingly
refer to Hamilton as “Ontario’s Back Lot.”
The City of Hamilton is a diverse film destination consisting of six unique communities: Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough,
Glanbrook, Hamilton and Stoney Creek. We will continue to be a location with hundreds of unique filming locations that
attract dozens of film, television and commercial productions each year. Administratively, we will be a leader in offering
“one-stop shopping” with a single level of government. Support for your industry continues to grow locally with government
officials and area residents all welcoming you into the community. Hamilton strives to keep their reputation as a film friendly
destination.
The goal of the HFLO is to offer unparalleled service to the industry. We are confident that this current edition of Hamilton’s
Film Production Resource Guide has reached new heights. This comprehensive one-stop shopping guide will help you locate
services in one convenient location and will be updated on a monthly basis to keep information current.
Thank you for all the support shown to the City of Hamilton as a film, television and commercial production destination.
WELCOME to the City of Hamilton, a premier location that truly does offer

Policy Statement:
The Corporation of the City of Hamilton recognizes the importance and significance of the film and television production
industry to our community. We further recognize the direct and indirect economic benefits associated with this growth sector.

community. This service includes the development of local initiatives and resources, which have become required standards
of the industry. Since 1999, the Hamilton Film Liaison Office has been a member of the Association of Film Commissioners
International.
All film and television production activity in the City of Hamilton must be reported to and co-ordinated through the Hamilton
Film Liaison Office, Economic Development Department. This includes all requests for permitting and their re-direction to
the proper departments.

filming. Information such as duration, location of filming, planned special effects, road and lane closures, sidewalk
usage and street parking restrictions must be communicated in writing to all areas affected by filming activity. A
copy of all notification letters must be on file with the HFLO for reference and distribution to Council.
♦ Councillors: Council will be notified by the HFLO a minimum of five (5) business days prior to all film activity.
In cases of late notification Council will be advised immediately. The notification will include the name of the
Production Company, title, type, topic content, producer, director, production manager, location manager and

7.
Consideration to Local Residents/Occupants/Businesses:
The local community should be free of any negative environmental conditions resulting from filming. This includes
(but not limited to) spillover lighting, exhaust fumes or noise that may affect their ability to enjoy their property or
conduct their business.
♦ Noise: The production company must comply with legislation governing noise
♦ Lighting: Lighting for filming should be orientated away from neighbouring residences
♦ Generators: All generators used on streets or in public areas will be equipped with silencing attachments unless
otherwise approved
♦ Night Filming: Filming will not proceed between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. without proper notification to residents
Exceptions to the above conditions require the approval of the majority of affected residents and the local governing
departments and/or Council.
8.
Disruption to Residents/Occupants/Businesses:
It is the Production Company’s responsibility to ensure that there is a minimum disruption to residents, occupants,
businesses and City services where filming occurs. This includes access to their respective properties and ensuring
pedestrian and vehicular access to adjoining properties. The production company is under no obligation to provide
compensation for disruption unless it voluntarily agrees to do so or otherwise has legal obligation to do so. Every effort
should be made to ensure that people displaying disabled parking permits and other legitimate credentials are
accommodated in recognition of personal safety.
9.

♦ Interference with pedestrian or vehicular traffic must be accompanied with proper permitting and approvals. Every
opportunity must be allowed to ensure access, either vehicular or pedestrian, to persons with disabilities

other lawful conditions unless directed otherwise by a Pay Duty Police Officer
♦ Intermittent traffic stoppages limited to a maximum of 3-5 minutes, unless otherwise stated and shall be under the
supervision of a Pay Duty Police Officer

11. Special Effects and Filming Activities in Relationship to Police/Fire Ambulance:
Guns, gunfire, explosives, bombs/mock-ups, flash power, detonators, flammable liquids/materials including the filming
of dangerous stunts require notification to the appropriate authorities. Production companies must contact the HamiltonWentworth Regional Police and the local Fire Department to acquire the appropriate approvals. Pay Duty Officers and
Emergency Medical Services Personnel are required for the detonation of pyrotechnic special effects and dangerous
situations. All costs associated with these requirements and related clean-up are at the expense of the Production
Company or applicant.
12. Clean-Up:
Production crews are responsible to clean the location at the end of the day with a minimum amount of noise and
disruption. Upon completion of the shoot the production company must ensure that the area is returned to its original
