According to a public notice from the Township of North Dumfries, production company Cry Wolf Canada Inc. is filming a project called “The System.”

They’ll be filming interior and exterior scenes at 4, 10 and 45 Stanley Street and at 10 Northumberland Street and the Green Garden Restaurant at 28 Northumberland Street on April 8 from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m.

On April 9, they’ll be filming at The Ayr News building at 40 Piper Street and the Gibson Mall at 47 Northumberland Street from 9 a.m. until 1 a.m.

People travelling through Ayr can expect to see crew members and equipment throughout downtown Ayr until April 10, but no road closures are expected. The Waterloo Regional Police Service will be in the area to keep an eye on things and there may be intermittent traffic stoppages on April 8 and 9.
