Planning a special event in our community? The Town of Petawawa is here to support event organizers and ensure events comply with local and provincial regulations — including property use, roadways, environmental standards, and fire and building codes.
There are two types of event planning processes depending on the location and organizer:
Events on Municipal or Residential Property
If you are:
- Planning an event at a municipal location (e.g., Centennial Park, Petawawa Point, or any other Town-owned space), or
- A resident planning an event on your own property
Â
You must follow the Special Event Policies and Procedures Manual, which outlines the approval process, permit requirements, and operational guidelines.
