Digital Billboard

** Please note that the size has changed to 1408×400 pixels and is not yet listed in the standards.
Community owned and operated non-profit organizations have access to utilize three digital billboards owned by Cieslok Media, located on Route 207 and  Highways 132 & 138. One free spot is made available for such public service announcements, courtesy of Cieslok Media. Considering the amount of requests this would facilitate, a set of standards was developed and implemented to ensure quality control and to prevent overcrowding of the one free billboard spot.
 
Organizational communications liaisons can request a billboard spot by emailing billboard@mck.ca.
 
MCK Public Relations facilitates the requests.
Further information on submission requirements can be  found in the Billboard Standards listed below:
