Woodcroft Community League - Edmonton

• All current Alberta Health Services public health measures must be followed when planning and hosting a Block Party or Play Street. As circumstances evolve, Parkland Licences, Block Party and Play Street Gatherings may be suspended or cancelled in accordance with Alberta Health and/or City of Edmonton directives. 
• Activities taking place exclusively on private property are generally considered to be covered by the homeowner or renter insurance policy.
  
  The City encourages gathering organizers to obtain $2 million in General Liability insurance to respond to any bodily injury and/or property damages to the third party for activities occurring on a City of Edmonton roadway. Depending on the circumstances of each event including the risk exposures and mitigations put in place by the organizer, the City may require evidence of insurance. The City recommends contacting your home insurance provider or other insured organization for an "event policy" if the organizer does not wish to use their own home insurance policy to discuss liability coverage as required. We would be happy to help you with further questions.

Examples of high-risk events taking place on a roadway can include: 

• Fire pits on roadways
• Inflatables such as bouncy castles *
• Involvement of any high-risk recreational activities which may have a potential for an injury and/or property damage
• Multi-street Block Parties or Play Streets where attendance is harder to control
• Serving of alcohol *
• Stages *
• Use of portable swimming pools

* May require additional permits.
