We realize communicable disease protocols are changing. We may hold your permit request until communicable disease protocols move to a future step in the BC Restart Plan. 

Please read through the below and submit any relevant documents with your permit application request. The actual permit application form follows this information.

• All must read and follow guidance provided by the Office of the Provincial Health Officer (PHO) related to outdoor events.

• Please note use of tents: An event held in a tent with one or more sides is an inside event. As such, must adhere to proof of vaccination protocols. An event held in a tent without any sides is an outside event.
• All commercial activity permitees (e.g., bootcamp operator, contractor performing work), park home user groups and organized sports teams must complete and have available to its participants a communicable disease safety plan. Also required for this group and permit holders (as applicable) is:
• proof of valid general liability insurance with the Corporation of the District of Saanich included as an additional insured
