If you are holding an event in Esquimalt, you may require a special event permit.
A Special Event Permit may be when:
- You are booking a public facility for a large event (75 people or more). This might include a park, a recreation facility, and/or a roadway
- You require special support to conduct your event (e.g. closing a road, using municipal equipment, requiring Police or Fire Department staff support)
- You are inviting large numbers and/or the public to attend your event
- Your event will impact the community in general, including local businesses and neighbours.
If you are unsure if your event will require a Special Event Permit, please contact our facility booking clerk at bookings@esquimalt.ca or 250-412-8525
