Victoria Park event notice

The City is aware of an upcoming event in Victoria Park (Unhoused Experience: 24-hour Challenge). Community members, speakers and residents providing donations are welcome to attend and City staff have been in touch with organizers to learn more about the event and discuss the City’s Parks By-law requirements.

Community members, speakers and residents planning to attend should be aware that the City’s Parks By-law does not permit tents or other structures to be set up in a park. In addition, events taking place in a park must end by 11 p.m. The City will be enforcing its Parks By-law. City staff have communicated this information to event organizers since mid-May to provide them with enough time to adjust their event plans to align with the City’s By-law and communicate those changes to those planning to attend the event.
