Selwyn Township has adopted a new policy that would streamline and standardize the practice of production filming within the township.
During Tuesday afternoon’s council meeting, Bryden Erdmann, Emergency & Risk Management Advisor presented the report recommending Council adopt a new Municipal Film Policy.
Erdmann said that this year alone, the township has received three separate film requests including The Amazing Race Canada and Honey Bee Media – a British television production company – in collaboration with Ben Fogle for a documentary special focused on Canada.
He said that over the last several years the township has become an appealing location for many TV and film productions.
With the growing interest in the area for this type of production, Erdmann’s report said that the implementation of a Municipal Film Policy was included in the 2026 Work Plan.
This policy was developed to establish clear and consistent standards for production companies seeking to film within the Township, Erdmann told council.

Douro South Park is going to get a scoreboard for the ball diamond.Room in the Douro Community Centre.
Brett Condon led a delegation before Douro-Dummer council at the regular meeting of September 22. Condon’s request was simple. Douro Minor Softball would like a scoreboard at the ball diamond to help with the various tournaments hosted throughout the season.
Condon told council that the organization has hosted various tournaments over the past two years under the umbrellas of the Ontario Amateur Softball Association (OASA) as well as the Ontario Rural Softball Association (ORSA).
Condon explained that these tournaments bring quite a few people to the park between fans and other teams from the area.
This influx of people according to Condon helps out small business as people shop, eat and stay local when participating in tournaments.
Condon said that if they want to keep young athletes interested they have to offer facilities that people want to attend.
Condon recognized and thanked council for the work that has been done to improve the facility in the recent past including the new stairway to the diamond from the parking lot, new bleachers as well as the landscaping.
