A film permit(s) is required to film any theatrical motion picture, television program, television commercial or music video on streets or property under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of The City of Calgary, or when off-street film-making affects the normal use of the adjacent street.

  • This permit requirement does not apply to television stations preparing stories for news or current affairs programs. Similarly, it does not apply to businesses or individuals retained by City of Calgary business units to prepare training or promotional materials for City purposes.
  • Changes, corrections or additions to an original permit will require a new permit application.

Personnel dedicated to the exclusive use of the filming company can be provided by the Fire Department, Emergency Medical Services Assistance, Calgary Police Service and the Calgary Police Tactical Unit. Please make your request to the Film Permit Coordinator. Fees for this service are included on the Filming in Calgary Rate Sheet (updated January 2010) - 136KB
