All requests will be evaluated based on:

• Availability within the event and lighting schedule

• The nature of the request

• Background, goals and values of the organization, cause or event

• How the lighting will be used to benefit the cause/event

• How the request relates to the Convention Centre's goal of creating economic, community and social benefit for all British Columbians

Please note that special lighting cannot be considered for:

• Commercial requests (e.g. product launches, corporate events)

• Individual recognition or personal occasions (e.g. birthdays, anniversaries)

• Religious or political events or observances

• Institutions or professions (e.g. hospitals, schools)
