A proclamation is a ceremonial document designating a period (special day, week or month) given to reward the efforts and commitments of recognized organizations or events that enhance our community and for a reason that is significant to City of Pickering residents.
Requests for proclamations which primarily serve to benefit one or more of the following causes are generally accepted:
- arts and cultural celebrations;
- charitable fundraising campaigns;
- civic promotions; and
- public awareness campaigns.
Requests for proclamations which fall into any one of the following groups will not be approved:
- matters of political controversy, ideological or religious beliefs or individual conviction;
- promotion of business or commercial enterprise;
- if the intent is contrary to corporate policies or municipal by-laws;
- if the intent is to defame the integrity of the City, Member of Council, or staff person; or
- if the event or organization has no direct relationship to the City of Pickering.
Submit your proclamation request at least 3 weeks prior to the desired proclamation period.
We post all proclamations on our website, view the current list.
