City of Grand Forks Request for Proposals
Canada Day 2022 Event Planning and Delivery
RFP# GF2022-08-RFP (GF2022-08-RFP-CanadaDay2022)
Date of issue – March 11, 2022
Date of Closing – March 29, 2022 @ 2pm

Canada Day (July 1) is an important community celebration that is supported by the City of Grand Forks. In previous years several models have been used to arrange Canada Day festivities. Often this occurred via a partnership with either the Grand Forks / Boundary Chamber of Commerce or through Community Futures. In recent years, an Events Coordinator, hired through the Rural Dividend Fund, hosted Canada Day on behalf of the City, and in 2021, the Downtown Business Association (DBA) arranged a COVID-19 pandemic limited event.
Given the current trend of restrictions easing across Canada, City staff are working on plans to celebrate Canada Day through seeking qualified partners to deliver the event. Interested parties are be encouraged to submit proposals that demonstrate community spirit, collaboration, and celebration.
