Promote Your Event

Community Calendar!There are several ways you can let people know about your event. One option is to list your event for free on the City's Community Calendar. Once you have confirmed your event location and date with the Special Events Office, use this calendar link or look for the Community Calendar logo on the City's Home Page and select "Add New Event" to enter your event information.

The media is also a great tool for spreading the word. You can either inform the media (radio stations, etc.) of your event, or pay to put an ad in the newspaper.

Another option is postering. The City has a by-law which prohibits putting posters on any pole or street furninture. There are, however, several "poster cylinder" locations Download PDF (PDF)around the city where promoting your event through postering is encouraged.
