- Display of an advertisement in the Leisure Guide does not constitute endorsement of the content by the City of Burnaby.
- Advertising that promotes an individual political party or politician are not permitted.
- Advertisements must be non-partisan, non-racial, non-denominational, non-sexist and non-political.
- Specific registration information (ie. start and end dates, times and pricing) is not permitted in ads that promote programs or classes.
- Advertisements that are meant to be a coupon or cut-out promotion are not permitted.
- Advertisements that promote drug, alcohol or tobacco products are not permitted.
- Advertising cannot be in conflict with any law, regulation, code, policy, by-law, standard or guideline established by the City of Burnaby, the provincial and federal governments.

- Any agreement that the City of Burnaby enters into with an advertiser shall not influence or determine the supply of goods or services to the City of Burnaby beyond the terms of the advertising agreement.
- Preference is given to advertising that is positive in nature to the welfare of the community and that generally promotes a healthy active lifestyle and attitude towards all citizens.
- Advertising space is sold on the basis that the “life” of the ad is limited to the “shelf life” of the Leisure Guide in which it appears.
