Community Events Calendar Submission Guidelines
The Town of Peace River Community Calendar is a public resource to promote events that bring people together and contribute to the community’s cultural, recreational, and educational life. To maintain a fair and useful platform, the following guidelines apply:
Events that are allowed:
- Non-Profit and Charity Events – Fundraisers, awareness campaigns, and community support initiatives.
- Civic and Government Events – Town meetings, public consultations, and municipal services.
- Arts, Culture, and Heritage – Festivals, concerts, art shows, and historical tours.
- Recreational and Sports Events – Tournaments, marathons, and wellness activities.
- Educational and Community Workshops – Public lectures, skills training, and cultural learning sessions.
- Business-Hosted Community Events – Open-to-the-public events such as networking mixers, industry panels, or free educational workshops that provide value beyond direct promotion.
- Seasonal and Holiday Events – Parades, holiday markets, and public celebrations.
Events that are not allowed:
- Purely Commercial Promotions – Store sales, product launches, or promotions designed primarily to generate business revenue.
- Exclusive or Private Events – Members-only meetings, VIP events, or invite-only functions.
- Political Rallies and Partisan Events – Candidate fundraisers, campaign rallies, or events that endorse a specific political party or figure.
- Religious Services – Regular worship services (but community-wide events hosted by religious groups, such as holiday festivals, may be included).
- Illegal or Inappropriate Content – Anything that violates laws, promotes hate, or is not in line with community standards.
Location: Events must be held in Peace River or the surrounding area and open to Peace River residents.
Contact Information: Include contact details for inquiries about your event.
Images: Attach an event poster or relevant image. For optimal display on the homepage cards, your image should have a 2:1 width-to-height ratio. Only submit your own, original content. Reproduced or borrowed content that reasonably appears to violate third-party rights will not be used. If no image is provided, a default placeholder will be used.
Terms of Use: All submissions must adhere to the Public Terms of Use in the Social Media Participant Use Policy.
Submission and Approval: All submissions will be reviewed and approved before being published. Those that do not meet the guidelines will not be posted. If an event does not clearly fit within these categories, the Town of Peace River will make a final determination on a case-by-case basis.
Invite the Mayor & Council: If you would like to invite the Mayor and Council to your event, please fill out our Event Invitation Request Form. Three weeks' notice for event invitations is appreciated.
Corrections: If you need to request a correction to a submitted event, please email communityevents@peaceriver.ca.
