Local Cochrane nonprofit community organizations may submit an application no more than six months and no fewer than three weeks before the requested date. Requests are processed in the order in which they are received and considered on a case-by-case basis using the following criteria:
support an event of national or international significance (such as Canada Day) or a local festival or event that positively impacts local community spirit
raise awareness for a local, national or international issue that builds community, such as National Indigenous Peoples Day or Pink Shirt Day
tributes or memorial requests for well-documented local or national figures or service members
Personal and individual requests for special days (such as birthdays or anniversaries) will not be considered.
Applications must be made each year to be considered and are not automatically guaranteed to be approved again. Multi-day requests will not be accepted.
