The mall is private property and can set its own regulations about whether photography is permitted on its property. You could contact mall management to ask them what their regulation is (if they have one) and let them know what you were told by their own security people.

The other point is that no signs are required (although it might make their life easier if they posted them) if a security guard says you can't take photos as an authorized agent of the property owner that's all the notice they need to give you. |

Not surprised. I was at the Sherway Apple store opening and security prevented photos taken of the store, they even stopped Apple staff from taking photos. I able to sneak a shot in. I've had no problems taking photos at other malls with Apple openings.

There's no law specifically against photographing in a mall but then again as is pointed out above you have to obey security regardless of the malls internal regulations. Eaton centre as a "tourist site seems to be pretty camera friendly but the individual store might react differently.

Phew I just walked into my local mall and took over a dozen shots of a kids event lol, no security even approached me though. (And I wasn't all that invisible considering I had a 70-200mm mounted)
