If you’re organizing a gathering in a river valley park for over 50 people, you will need to connect with a Festivals & Events Liaison in the Civic Events Office for a permit. They will also help to make sure your event won’t conflict with one already planned.

City of Edmonton Outdoor Adventure Programs

Looking for help with a school, group, or badge program? Interested in hiring a City team to lead your outdoor winter activities? Outdoor Adventure Programs provide outdoor programs to community groups, Edmonton and area schools, corporations, and the general public.

Equipment for Groups

The Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues (EFCL) has an Equipment Rental Program for Edmonton non-profits. This program rents equipment primarily to not-for-profit groups offering local, neighbourhood recreation program and events. Equipment is also offered to groups that are using the equipment to promote no- or low-cost active living to Edmontonians. Note: we do not rent to individuals nor companies for private parties or events.

The equipment rental catalogue includes bannock sticks, a broomball kit, a fire pit, kicksleds, toboggans, snowshoes, and winter fun kits with snow molds and shovels.
