The City of Belleville receives a number of lighting requests each year for various significant events and occasions. These requests come through the Mayor's Office by way of a Request for Proclamation and are then reviewed and/or approved by the Mayor.
If a request is approved, a proclamation will be issued by the Mayor at a Belleville City Council meeting, and if indicated in the request, staff will schedule the lighting of the Bridge Street Bridge and BELLEVILLE sign for the preferred timeline and colours. Messaging may also be displayed on promotional signage at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre and West Zwick's Park.
These requests will be received and approved on a first-come-first-served basis. In the event that there are multiple requests during one specific month and/or City events taking place, every effort will be made to honour all requests.
Notice will be posted to the City's website and social media channels notifying residents of the colour change and reasoning behind it.
