Request a City Council Proclamation

Thank you for requesting a Proclamation from the Mayor, City Council and City of Vancouver. We appreciate the opportunity to acknowledge and support the special occasion or cause.

The City receives many requests to present both new and annually recurring proclamations each and every month. As such, formal presentation of proclamations at City Council meetings is limited.

After review of your request by Staff and the Mayor, the City will provide notification of how the proclamation will be presented. If a formal presentation at a City Council meeting is available, the expectation is there will be a representative on hand to receive the proclamation from the Mayor and make brief comments. If a formal presentation at a City Council meeting is not available, the proclamation will be emailed and mailed.

Requests for City of Vancouver proclamations should be submitted 30 days prior to the requested Council Meeting date, or if it is to be mailed, one month before the scheduled event/activity. City Council meets Mondays at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. (Please refer to the Council meeting calendar for specific dates.) Up to two proclamations may be read per meeting.

Please review proclamation and presentation guidelines prior to submitting your request.
