Postering charges dropped in HRM
Halifax has a by-law that limits where you can post event posters. This didn’t stop Evolve promoters from putting up some signage for their event last year. The organizer was charged and faced $4,500 in fines.
The charges have been dropped according to The Coast.
The lawyer working in the defense of the organizer suggests that postering is a form of communication that is protected under the Canadian Chart of Rights and Freedoms.
I’ve said before that postering is proof an active culture in a city. I’m pleased that the Evolve folks didn’t have to pay to promote what was voted the best music festival in Canada.
