Special Events Licence

The intended use of the NPP Special Events Licence (“Licence”) is for food and beverage vendors who are invited on bases and wings to provide services for special events. (e.g. Family Days, Canada Days, Air Shows). For that access, some bases and wings charge vendors fees, some do not.

This Licence allows businesses to use a dedicated area of NPP/DND property between specified hours of a specific day (or in a case of an Air Show, a few days) for a defined purpose. It stipulates the arrival and departure dates/times and requires permits and licences from the appropriate authorities for their activity, which also includes food handling. Insurance for this license is mandatory.  If applicable, vendor fees must be paid prior to the event.  

This Licence is not to be used for vendors who are selling/providing alcohol.

This Licence is not a contract for services and it should not be used instead of one. A contract for services is used for services acquired by NPP and paid with the non-public funds. The Licence is used for food and beverage vendors invited on bases/wings to provide services for special events either for a fee or at no cost to NPP.
