| The following information
is intended as a guideline to the approval process. There are few
absolute rules and each application is examined based on impacts to
the community. Special events are approved by the Festival Expediting
Staff Team (FEST) Committee. The Special Event Coordinator chairs
the FEST committee which is made up of representatives from the Police,
Park Board, Fire, BC Transit and any other civic departments or government
bodies that may need to be consulted. Event applications are reviewed
by the Special Event Coordinator and if necessary, an organizer may
be asked to attend a meeting with the FEST Committee to discuss the
application. |
|
The length of time required
for approval varies depending on the size and nature of the event.
Smaller events (stationary rally, demonstration) may be approved in
a matter of days while a larger event (parade, fun run) may require
up to two months for route approval. All new and/or significant events
require City Council approval and may take longer than two months.
Organizers are encouraged not to advertise the event until preliminary
approval is obtained from the Special Event Coordinator or FEST Committee. |
There are several things to consider before completing the on-line application
form. All the information you need is provided here. The links to the
left, under “APPLY ON-LINE”, will take you through the information
package. The checklist below reflects the menu on the left. **
To ensure expedient processing of your application, read all the information
before continuing on to the form.** Once the form is submitted, you will
be contacted by a Special Events Coordinator.
