Temporary Tent
Due to new Provincial COVID-19 regulations, any paper copy applications and business licence submissions will be held for a minimum 4 days before being accepted. This will result in a delay of processing your application.
It is recommended that all Planning & Development applications be submitted electronically to fortplanning@fortsask.ca to avoid any delays and to respect the health and safety of City staff as we continue to provide services during this pandemic.
If you have any question, please call 780-992-6198.
Are you wanting to use a temporary tent for your next event? You will need to have the permit in hand before you can put up the tent.
Do I need a permit?
The size of the tent and time used will determine what permits you will need.
