Background
Completion of the Application for Municipally Significant Designation is required if you are requesting a designation of a Municipally Significant Event in the City of Richmond Hill for the purpose of obtaining a Special Occasion Permit (SOP).
Once the application is submitted, the City Clerk will review and determine if basic conditions are met and circulate the application to City departments for review and feedback.
Applications must be submitted at least six weeks before the event to ensure that approval can be made in time.
Examples of a Municipally Significant Event
Municipally Significant Event may include the following, or similar:
Important Instructions:
Please note: Designation as a Municipally Significant Event does not, in and of itself, confer any authorization to sell and serve alcohol. The AGCO has the final decision of whether to issue a Special Occasion Permit for the sale and service of alcohol at a public event.
For more information or for assistance with your application, please contact the Office of the Clerk at (905) 771-8800 x 3099 or email clerks@richmondhill.ca.
