About A Special Event Permit is required by any person or organization wishing to hold a special event on any roadway or on a Township of Wilmot property.
A Special Event includes a parade, procession, street dance, sidewalk or street sale, race, marathon, walk-a-thon, triathalon, demonstration or any other similar event. (Funeral or wedding processions are not considered special events)

It is recommended to book your Special Event as early as possible as many events are held on the same day each year. If Waterloo Regional Police already have a major event on that day you may be requested to pick an alternate date to hold the event.
What is Required? - name, address and phone number of the applicant - name, address and phone number of the organization conducting the event - type, purpose and date of the event - proposed rain date - number of participants - location and time of assembly and disbanding, and time of commencement and termination
Yes, insurance is required for your protection as well as the Township of Wilmot. For a list of additional information required to accompany an application to occupy any portion of Township property for a Special Event click here.
Can the Township Cancel and Event? Yes, the Director of Public Works of the Township or the Chief of the Waterloo Regional Police Service or their designate may cancel or re-route a Special Event for the preservation of public safety and the safety of the participants.
Is there an Appeal Process? Yes, any conditions of approval or a decision to refuse a Special Event Permit by the Director of Public Works may be appealed to the Township of Wilmot Council. Where the appeal relates to conditions by another Municipality, the appeal should be lodged with that Municipality.
