Special Event Permit

Special Events are events that are considered “Charitable Events,” “Charitable Community Events,” “Family Events,” or “Commercial Entity or Business Events,” as defined on page 16 of this Guide.  These events are not considered a “Commercial Use” as they do not earn a profit. The Special Event permit process will assist you in identifying items to include when planning your event.  The safety of the public and volunteers attending the event is of the utmost importance to the Town of Slave Lake. The process will assist in identifying additional permissions, insurance, and/or licenses required.  Communicating with the Planning and Development Department will ensure that other town departments are notified and that approval is received for the event.  In addition, we can provide additional assistance as necessary.

Special Events may include but are not limited to Bicycle/Foot Races, Walks/Runs/Marathons, Parades, Block Parties, Weddings, Celebrations, Family Reunions, Charitable Fundraisers, Open-Air Concerts, Contests, Games, Car Shows, Fitness Classes held on public lands (i.e., parks, roads, boulevards, Town parking lots, etc.) or within public facilities (i.e., Town Office, Fire Hall, etc.).
