We have been contacted by concerned community members regarding an anti-vaccination billboard on William St. The City of Vincent is opposed to the advertising material on the billboard and we are advocating for its removal.

We have thoroughly investigated whether we have the power to get the advertising on the billboard taken down. Unfortunately we don’t have that authority. The billboard structure has permanent approval and our regulatory authority does not extend to the content of the advertising on the billboard.

We have submitted a complaint to the Advertising Standards Bureau requesting that they deal with the content. We have also contacted the owner of the billboard to alert them to our concerns.
