Proclamations and Requests to Light Up
Council considers proclamation and "light up" requests during Regular Council meetings.
To make a request please email council at council@esquimalt.ca and place Proclamation in the subject line. To ensure that the proclamation request is addressed by Council in time for your event or charity day it must be received several weeks in advance.
Please note that the Archie Browning Sports Centre and the Esquimalt Adventure Park are the Municipal Facilities that are able to display lights for your charity "light up".
