2024 Filming Projects in Port Hope
That’s a wrap on “Fairview”! Filming wraps up tonight (Thursday, Apil 18), so production won't need tomorrow's rain date. Residents around the Elias Street parking lot may experience some noise as crew depart tonight. Walton and Queen Streets will be open tomorrow, and paid parking resumes. Residents will still see crew members around Friday, Saturday and Sunday (April 19 to 21) as they work on restoring the area to its 2024 look. Crew are instructed to maintain 1.2m of clearance at all times. Downtown businesses remain open during this work. Thank you to all businesses, residents and visitors for their patience and understanding during this big project. We look forward to sharing details when the production airs.
Health and Safety
The health and safety of cast, crew and the community are of critical importance throughout the duration of filming. Municipal staff will be onsite throughout the duration of filming on Municipal property and roads.
Questions or Concerns
Residents and business owners may have inquiries regarding film details. If there are any concerns regarding traffic, access, etc. any inquiries may be directed to the Film Liaison.
Filming on your Property
Residents are welcome to list their properties as potential filming locations. These locations are regularly scouted by production teams and may be chosen to appear in film and television productions. Any negotiations between property owners and film companies are conducted do not involve the Municipality.
Looking to Register your Property for Filming?
The Ontario Film Commission allows property owners to list their homes and properties for use as filming locations. Creating a listing in the Digital Library will allow Location Managers to choose your property to appear in film and television.
