Community Event Permits:


Events involving Alcohol, if open to the public,  require a “community event permit” approved by City Council.   To submit a request for a community event permit, forward a letter to the City outlining the details of your event approximately 5-6 weeks in advance.   

After approval by City Council, if selling alcohol, organizers must contact the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) to obtain a permit.  It is further recommended that you contact a MLCC Inspector who may be available to clarify your responsibilities as an event permit holder.

An official agreement will need to be signed with the City and event organizers.  Event organizers will be required to provide evidence of a minimum of $2,000,000.00 (two million dollars) public liability insurance, naming the City as an additional insured for the event.  This must be filed with the City by providing a true certified copy of the insurance policy upon the signing of the agreement.  

Please contact Jenn Sarna, Manager of Community Development at 239-8323 or jsarna@city-plap.com  for more information.
 

Special Event Insurance
Due to the increased demand to host special events on C ity property such as parks, or in City owned and operated facilities, and due to the increased expense in obtaining adequate liability insurance, the City recognizes the need to provide special event insurance options to those non-profit groups and organizations hosting these special events.

A policy has been developed in order to identify the requirements and specifications that may determine whether or not an event is eligible for liability coverage under the City’s Municipal Insurance Program.   For more information contact the Jenn Sarna, Manager of Community Development at 239-8323 to mailto:jsarna@city-plap.com 


Road Closures
Road closure requests must be in writing and include:

  • the streets to be closed

  • the date of the requested closure

  • the length of time the road will be closed

  • the reason for the closure

Road Closure requests should be forwarded to the appropriate Department as follows:

For Island Park:  Forward requests to the Director of Economic & Community Development Department.  Requests should be received at least 3 weeks prior to event to allow for review and notice to residents on the Island.

For closures other than Island Park:  Forward requests to the Manager of Administration

For Parades:  Forward requests to the Fire Department or call (204) 239-8340
