Effective July 1st, 2019, the City of Vancouver Film & Special Events Branch will be asking productions to indicate the location of Circus parking and generator placements when working on location in the City. While this information has always been a required field in our applications, there is a renewed effort to ensure the data is collected and analyzed. Locations teams will be provided with a form that can be completed and sent to their assigned Officer along with the standard permit application.
The data we collect will be used to inform the City of Vancouver in analysis of parking supply/demand gaps and strategic initiatives to establish electrical power “hubs” in key locations around the City. In order to have a complete picture of the parking and power needs throughout the City, this data will be collected for all locations in the City; including:
· Public Streets, Plazas, and Parking Lots
· Vancouver Park Board Sites
· Private Land and Parking Lots
· Vancouver School Board Sites
· Any other location within the City
Officers from the Film & Special Event Branch will also be visiting production sites as part of this initiative to verify the accuracy of the information collected and learn more about the parking and power requirements of the industry, now and in the future.
