For Promoters

All professional combative sporting events held in Calgary must be approved by the Calgary Combative Sports Commission and licensed by The City of Calgary under the Combative Sports Commission Bylaw

Licencing First Steps

 

The first formal step to holding a combative sports event in Calgary is to submit an Event Application to the Commission. The Event Application fee must be submitted within seven (7) days of application approval.

 

As a cautionary measure, do not place a deposit on a venue until you have received sanctioning from the Commission.  New venues have to be inspected for suitability of hosting a weigh-in and/or event.  We advise all new promoters be in discussion with the Chair about venues.

 

Prior to submitting an application to the CCSC, we strongly advise promoters to request to present their event information, in confidence, to the CCSC at an Upcoming Meeting, particularly for promoters new to the city of Calgary. Promoters can make a request to present to the Commission by emailing the CCSC Chair, TJ Madigan. This will help promoters to avoid paying the non-refundable license fee in the event the application is not approved.

Other Licencing Requirements

Once the Event Application is approved by the Commission, a Business Licence is required. Contact the Chief Licence Inspector, Michael Briegel, at Michael.Briegel@calgary.ca for more information about the Business Licence Application process.

 

Individuals associated with a professional event in an official capacity must also be licensed including:

  • judges
  • referees
  • contestants

 

These licenses are typically submitted by the promoter on the individuals’ behalf. Licensees are required to read and acknowledge their understanding of the
Combative Sport Bylaw (53M2006) and Commission Policies and Rules (see links below).

Submitting Applications and Documents

 

Submit all applications and required documents by email to:

TJ.Madigan@Calgary.ca and CCSRegulatoryServices@Calgary.ca

Requirements for Combative Sports Events

 

The Event Checklist is the promoter’s key document for making sure they are meeting all the requirements for a sanctioned combative sports event. This document will walk promoters thorough the required steps in holding an event.

 

Following are a list of requirements and timelines that promoters must fulfill in order for the event to take place. If a promoter fails to meet these requirements and timelines, the license may be revoked.
