Use the Assembly grounds

The Legislative Building grounds are made up of the land south of Wellesley Street West and between Queen’s Park Crescent East and Queen’s Park Crescent West. The grounds can be booked ahead of time for permitted activities. Some of the permitted activities include:

  • public assemblies, such as demonstrations, protests, vigils, or rallies (application required)
  • ceremonial visits
  • official visits
  • parliamentary or protocol activities
  • special events on behalf of the Legislative Assembly

 

Book a demonstration, protest, or rally

Peaceful demonstrations or rallies are welcome and expected. We will make every effort to co-operate and help you plan your event.

If you want to book the grounds, please read our application form (PDF) and accompanying policy carefully. You can direct any questions to the Public Engagement and Liaison Unit (lpsgr@ola.org). The unit can also be reached by phone at 416-325-1114, or by fax at 416-325-9912.

  • Allow the Legislative Protective Service (LPS) at least ten business days prior to the date of your event to process your application. Large events may require more processing time.
