Are you looking to host an event in the Township of Brock? Whether you are planning a family reunion, shower or major community event, we can help you find a facility space to rent.

Fireworks permit

Depending on the type of event, you may want to apply for a fireworks permit. You need a fireworks permit in order to discharge fireworks in the Township of Brock.

Accessible event planning

The Brock Accessibility Advisory Committee has put together an accessibility event planning checklist to help you ensure that individuals of all abilities are able to participate and attend your event.

Parking, transportation and travel

When planning your event, you want to make sure that there is accessible parking, transit and travel options available. This includes:

  • Accessible parking spaces that are close to venue entrances and exits, accessible washrooms, pay stations and lifts/ramps
  • Provide local accessible public transportation routes and schedules
  • Provide wide, even, slip-resistant paths, without steps or barriers so that everyone can move through your event venue space
  • Ensure that everyone has access to elevators

Stages and seating

If your event includes a stage, you must provide a ramp for stage access. The ramp should be visible to someone watching from accessible seating or from a wheel chair.

Food services and eating spaces

Design food areas that someone who needs mobility support can easily navigate. This includes accessible tables and seating areas for individuals using wheeled mobility devices.

Washrooms

Make sure to provide accessible washrooms with toilets located on the ground level, away from crowds and sound systems.

Rest areas and shelters

Your venue should have quiet rest areas and weather shelters.

Signs

Provide high-contrast signage in high and low positions. Your signs should use san serif fonts and should be readable in all lighting.

Support staff, service animals and volunteer training

To create an accessible event, you need to train all volunteers and staff to welcome and assist people with disabilities and how to use and access all event accessibility features. It is also important to allow:

  • Service animals in all public spaces
  • Support persons to attend the event

You may want to consider offering reduced event entry rates for all support staff. You can also include:

  • Captioners
  • Sing language interpreters
  • Individuals who can describe performances

Maps and event information

When developing maps, brochures and pamphlets, you should include all events accessibility features and make sure to consider accessibility when developing your emergency response plans.

Promote your event

When promoting your event, make sure to include the accessibility features in the same places that you promote the event generally. Avoid creating separate accessibility promotions.

Request feedback

We should also look for ways to improve our events for the future. Ask for feedback before, during and after the event to find ways that you can improve the accessibility features to make your event more inclusive.
