Overview
Special event permits are issued to ensure the safety of:
- motorists travelling the provincial highway
- workers
- event participants and spectators
Obtaining a permit also ensures you are aware of any scheduled construction or maintenance work during your event or filming. You cannot film on or hold an event by a provincial highway before a permit has been issued.
In the approval process, the organizer should notify or obtain an approval from other authorities or agencies such as, municipalities, RCMP, emergency services, Indian reserves, and make specific arrangements for assistance where required.
Permits are subject to the:
- Highways Development and Protection Act
- Traffic Safety Act
- Special Events Guide
- Traffic Accommodation in Work Zones Manual
