Are you looking to use public property for a special event, food truck or merchant display? Then you need a Temporary License of Occupation (TLO)!
A TLO gives legal authority for a business, individual, or group to use public property to carry out specific activities. These activities can include patios, sidewalk cafes, merchant displays, food trucks, raffle stands, charity barbeques, street performers, fairs, parades, weddings, sporting events, farmers markets and more.
The Town reminds those looking to apply for a TLO that it may take up to two weeks for approval, other regulations may apply, so plan ahead!
For more information on the TLO process, including how to apply for a TLO, visit golden.ca/TLO
Canada Day 2023:
Did you know that each year, the Town typically compiles and promotes other community-organized events for Canada Day? If you are planning to host a public event, let us know and we can help promote it. Community event organizers usually start reaching out in May and June to organize their events, get their TLOs, and provide us with information for promotion.
Historically, the Town of Golden has not hosted any Canada Day community events outside of activities at Town-owned recreation facilities (stay tuned for details on a Canada Day Pool Party!). Please note that fireworks will not be a part of this year’s Canada Day events in Golden. This decision was made proactively last year based on the annual risks of wildfire, as well as feedback received from the community about the impact of fireworks on pets and wildlife.
Stay tuned in June for more details about Canada Day events!
