47 47 f. Participation in Official Capacity by City Department Representatives on Boards and Planning Committees of Local Festivals and Events The City has limited involvement on boards and planning committees of local festivals and events as it provides more "planning" assistance as a service, not in the actual business of planning an event/festival. In some cases for large-scale events like the 2017 Canada Summer Games, a city elected official participates on the board with a voice and vote, while the city's event liaison would have a voice but no vote. Below is a list of related boards and planning committees that include representation from either the Mayor or appointee of the Mayor or city councilor: » Access Advisory Committee » Assiniboine Park Conservancy Inc. » Canadian Capital Cities » City of Winnipeg Museums Board » Convention Centre Corporation » Economic Development Winnipeg Inc. » Francophone and Francophile Cities Network » The Forks North Portage Partnership » Heritage Winnipeg Corporation » Take Pride Winnipeg » Urban Design Advisory Committee » Winnipeg Airports Authority Board » Winnipeg Art Gallery Board of Governors » Winnipeg Arts Council Inc. » Winnipeg Committee For Safety » Winnipeg Police Board g. Local Laws, Ordinances, Regulations, Permits and Policies Impacting and Supportive of Festivals and Events The City of Winnipeg requires festival/event insurance for city-owned/public spaces only. It does not currently have a specific policy solely dedicated to special events; rather, by-laws related to festivals and events are organized by the different city departments. The City of Winnipeg is responsible for regulating the following by-laws that would potentially apply to festival and event applications: » Downtown By-Law » Neighbourhood Liveability By-Law » Zoning By-Law » Frozen Waterways By-Law » Doing Business in Winnipeg By-Law » Streets By-Law » Building By-Law The City can also point event/festival planners in the right direction if necessary when it comes to securing appropriate permits for their festival or event in relation to the following, which are regulated by the Province of Manitoba: » Manitoba and National Building Codes » Manitoba Highway Traffic Act » Manitoba Liquor and Gaming Control Act » Manitoba Public Health Act The City also has bylaws and policies governing noise, traffic regulations, parking, fireworks and basic insurance conditions for events with and without liquor. The City of Winnipeg does not have a curfew, nor specific protocol on ambush marketing control – this is more looked at on a case-by-case basis, and the city will look at the tools available to meet an event's needs.
