Planning an event in Yellowknife

• Alcohol: a licensed venue covers the bar. Anywhere else (a hall, a park, an office) needs a Special Occasion Permit from the NWT Liquor Licensing Board. Timing: 5 days ahead for under 200 people, 14 days for 200 to 500, 45 days for over 500; an occupant load certificate from the Fire Marshal is required. The legal drinking age in Northwest Territories is 19.
• Sales tax: 5% GST, no territorial sales tax. The budget calculator applies it when Yellowknife is selected.
• Capacity: the occupant load posted in the room is the legal maximum. Check your layout with the capacity calculator.
• Outdoor events: parks, tents and amplified sound need approval from the municipality; ask early, because noise exemptions and tent permits take weeks.
• Site visits: bring the 25-question venue tour checklist.
