To all film clients: The Film Office is pleased to announce
that we now have a new Location Filming Permit
application to better
serve your needs.

all valid insurance certificates, notification letters and signature sheets (when
applicable) to the Film Office via email at film.office@mississauga.ca or by fax at

All companies filming in the City of Mississauga must
present to the Film Office, prior to permit issuance, a certificate of commercial general
liability insurance with $2 million per occurrence minimum coverage (or higher limits as the
City reasonably requires depending on the nature of filming) adding the City of Mississauga as
an additional insured. Productions requesting a Road Occupancy Permit must also list the
Region of Peel as an additional insured.
Also, please note that the fee for ROPs is now $300 plus
HST ($39) and may be paid by cash, debit, credit or certified cheque. ROPs are to be
picked up at Transportation and Works, 3185 Mavis Road, 1st Floor - Front Counter between
8:30am - 4:30pm.
