Currently, the City of Vancouver Film Office is unable to identify the number of curfew extensions it provides, therefore unable to produce corresponding data when necessary. Additionally, some permits (as they are currently) may be unclear when describing activities permitted prior to the filming curfew, as opposed to what is allowed after filming curfew hours. Current curfew hours are:
7:00am to 11:00pm Monday through Thursday,
7:00am to 12:00 midnight on Fridays,
8:00am to 12:00 midnight on Saturdays,
8:00am to 11:00pm on Sundays
As a solution, Film Liaisons will provide an additional permit for activity outside of normal curfew hours. The cost for the additional "curfew extension" permit will remain at the normal permit price of $150.00/permit.
The benefit of this change will:
Provide clarification that an extension to the filming curfew is granted
Provide clarity about what activity is permitted specifically outside of curfew hours
Provide an ability for the Film Office to extract information regarding curfew extensions in a clear and timely manner
Ability to provide accurate data and give guidance in relation to curfew extensions
The requirement for an additional permit for activities outside of curfew hours will take effect as of Tuesday, September 5th.
If you have any questions, please contact your Film Liaison or call our main office line at 604.257.8840.
