Parking for Film Unit Vehicles
The City will attempt to provide street parking space for essential film unit vehicles. As The City must post "No Parking" signs 24 hours before the effective date of the permit, the Film Permit Coordinator must be provided with the following information five (5) working days in advance of the required signing:
- The streets to be reserved for parking vehicles
- Existing regulations on the street such as parking or no parking zones, meters, rush hour limits, handicapped parking, etc.
- Detailed description of the filming to be done
- Date and time the signing is required.
Permitted streets will be reserved overnight if the permit allows for shooting on consecutive days.
This parking is not for cast and/or crew personal vehicles. Arrangements must be made for off-street parking and/or shuttle vans/buses should be used.
All film production vehicles must display a valid parking permit in the windshield of each parked vehicle. Vehicles not displaying a valid permit may receive parking tickets. Film crews are not allowed to park vehicles in front of fire hydrants, driveways, within five metres of a street corner of crosswalks. Vehicles may be ticketed and towed in these cases.
Hooding Parking Meters It is the TrafficOperations Division's responsibility to install and remove the hoods from any parking meters used for film parking.
Towing Illegally Parked Vehicles If it is necessary to tow a vehicle that is parked in a signed area, the location manager must call the Calgary Parking Authority Enforcement Section at (403) 537-7100. It is illegal for the production company to request a towing company to move a vehicle; this is the responsibility of the Calgary Parking Authority.
