Proclamations are ceremonial documents issued and signed by the Mayor to recognize the value and importance of a person, event, campaign, or organization for a certain day, week, or month. These proclamations are an official announcement issued by the Mayor on behalf of Council. Acknowledgement is normally given to reward the efforts and commitment of individuals or organizations that enhance our community and are significant to North Bay residents.

The Town of Kirkland Lake reserves the right to decline any request.
