Proclamations

A proclamation is a formal document that dedicates a day, week or month to honour a special event, cause or purpose. Proclamations may be requested by Edmonton-based organizations and are intended to recognize initiatives or events that directly impact Edmontonians, including:

  • Civic initiatives and campaigns
  • Charitable or community initiatives
  • Health and public service initiatives
  • Multicultural awareness initiatives or events

The Mayor’s Office may deny requests that are mainly personal, private, partisan, polarizing or commercial in nature. Some requests that do not meet the criteria for a proclamation may instead be considered for a congratulatory certificate.

Mayor's Messages

Mayor's messages are short greetings of about four paragraphs usually written for publication in programs or booklets by organizers of community events or conferences. They are signed by the Mayor and can include his picture if requested.

Certificates of Congratulations

Certificates of congratulations are custom certificates to recognize special events and achievements in the community. Certificates are often presented to people and organizations on reaching a significant milestone in their life or history — an anniversary, birthdays for persons celebrating 65th birthdays and older, certificates to athletes and to businesses on official openings.
