They need to talk to the city to install such an antenna on a light post. But this a business transaction, not one requiring approval. I know that installing an antenna greater than 15m requires industry canada approval. What is not clear is whether installing a 15m antenna requires a city building permit at the very least.

QWE11 @teksavvy.com	said by jfmezei: What is not clear is whether installing a 15m antenna requires a city building permit at the very least. Municipalities derive their powers from their respective provincial governments. Federal (telecom/broadcasting) jurisdiction trumps them both (no building permit or permission from the municipality is required). Regardless of height they follow Industry Canada rules. It is only when it is over 15m do they have to do the "public consultation" process.
