Film Permit Information
Regina

The city of Regina has detailed information and guidance on filming directly on the city website.

The full official guidelines for filming in Regina can be found here. These guidelines must be reviewed before filling out the application for a filming permit.

The film permit application can be found here.

Applications should be submitted at least 10 business days before filming. The review process usually takes between five to 10 business days depending on the production elements and complexity. Applications could be expedited if the elements attached are not complex enough to extend the review process.

A city representative coordinates with municipal services, including the road closures, to ensure all aspects of the film permitting process are reviewed and discussed with the review committee. This representative will also closely work with the applicant to ensure their needs are met and facilitate a smooth permitting process.

Signed applications with supporting documents are sent to events@regina.ca. This is also the main point of contact for updates and additional information.

The supporting documents are:

• Commercial General Liability insurance with a minimum coverage of $5 million, and $2 million in Auto Liability Insurance.
  • The city of Regina must be listed as additional insured
    • Address: City of Regina, 2476 Victoria Avenue, Regina, SK S4P 3C8
• Location Map (Google Map preferable) indicating filming locations.

If the production requires use of drone photography, a signed approval letter from the Mayor’s office is required prior to filming application. A representative from events@regina.ca can help with this process.

If filming in a Civic Property or Facility, applicants will need to complete a facility booking application form. More information can be found here.

Special effects involving the combustion of materials require a permit from the Regina Fire and Protective Services Department. For further information, please contact 306-777-7837, or email FAST@regina.ca. Standard processing time is 14 business days.
