The following applies to all production units parked in the area bounded by Lawrence Ave., Lake Ontario, Victoria Park and the Humber River.

These recommendations were unanimously agreed to by the Film Liaison Industry Committee; Unit Parking Sub-Committee, comprised of members from the Toronto Film & Television Office, Commercial Production Association of Toronto, IATSE 873, Nabet 700, Toronto Police Service, Works & Emergency Services, August 30, 2000.

  1. Absolutely no crew or cast vehicles shall be parked within the permitted area.

  2. Long format1 productions shall be limited to 40 (red) vehicle permits per production unit. e.g.: Main &/or 2nd. Unit

  3. Short format2 productions shall be limited to 20 (red) vehicle permits per production.

  4. Usable road allowance will be left to the discretion of TFTO staff in consultation with Works & Emergency Services (WES) staff and the Toronto Police Service (TPS).

  5. No vehicles or trailers with a 'pop out' or 'slider' shall be permitted to extend these devices into traffic, or in the direction of the skip/delineation line.

  6. Sliders may be extended toward the sidewalk, provided that the vehicle remains entirely in the curb lane and does not park beyond the skip/delineation line. Further, that the 'slider' does not occupy, obstruct or unreasonably interfere with pedestrian traffic. Should 'sliders' be used, they must leave a minimum of 5' or 1.5 m of unobstructed sidewalk space and may at no time occupy or obstruct greater than half of the available sidewalk.

1 For the purposes of these recommendations, long format is considered to be anything larger/longer than a Commercial, Music Video, Industrial or Short Film.

2 For the purposes of these recommendations, short format is considered to be anything smaller/shorter than a TV Series, MOW, or Feature length film.
