Protocol Requests
Council is proud to support public events and celebrations in our community. There are a number of options you can explore to celebrate your cause or event. Click on the icons below to learn more, find listings of events we recognize and to make a request!
Interested in having the City recognize your event?
- Review the Protocol Policy to confirm that your event is eligible
- Complete the protocol request. Due to the large number of requests received, the City will only consider one type of recognition per event.
- Submit the request at least 4 weeks prior to the event to be considered.
The City will not recognize organizations or events that discriminate based on any prohibited grounds as defined by the Human Rights Act, 2010; are not compliant with municipal, provincial or federal legislation; or are deemed to be political in nature (with the exception of any activities required as part of election legislation).
The City’s has discretion to reject a request that, in its sole opinion, is not directly related or directly of interest to the City’s vision and values, authority or role. Final authority to approve or deny requests rests with the City Clerk. Approval is considered a one-time approval and does not indicate approval on an annual basis.
