The Policy on Support for Special Events provides a framework to facilitate the planning of events locally.
Objectives
The Policy on Support for Special Events defines the procedures for submitting applications and acceptance of events, the support that the Borough is able to provide to such events, and the rules and responsibilities relative to such support.
The objectives of the policy are as follows:
- Plan effectively and make responsible use of Borough resources;
- Clearly define the types of support available to organizations that want to organize an event;
- Encourage diversification of events available in the Borough;
- Perform evaluations of events to ensure that the objectives are met;
- Respect the Borough’s capacity to host and support events.
This Policy covers three streams of support:
- STREAM 1 : Support for events held on public property

- STREAM 3 : Equipment loans and transportation of materials for events held on Borough territory in a location that is not owned by the Borough
