Winnipeg Assiniboine park and photography fee–$150+GST

Here’s the two pieces of information that was sent out. This first was an “Initial WOOPS”… They ended up retracting the letter by saying it was a draft.

First Letter

“As a photographer, you may have clients that would like to have their wedding photos taken in Assiniboine Park. We define a photo shoot as an event that you receive compensation from the client for taking the photos. The cost of a photo shoot is $150 plus …GST. This cost ensures that you have a reserved space available for your photo shoot, the horticultural material and grounds are in order and staff is available to assist in keeping visitors away from your shoot.
You can book your photo shoots by phoning Assiniboine Park’s Events Office at 204-927-6060. A Park Event Coordinator will assist you.
Assiniboine Park is one of Winnipeg’s public parks and is managed by a not-for-profit organization, the Assiniboine Park Conservancy. In order to achieve our mandate we generate revenue by charging fees for weddings, professional photography, tours, receptions and film shoots. These funds enable us to hire staff, provide programming, and maintain our plant and art collections.
By working together we can continue to provide Winnipeg with a unique spot for special occasions.

Yours truly,
Lorne Perrin
Lorne W. Perrin
Vice President, Marketing & Park Services”

Second letter

May 3, 2012
As a photographer, you may have clients that would like to have their wedding photos taken in Assiniboine Park. While you are welcome to take advantage of all the park has to offer, there are only three locations for which a fee must be paid to the Assiniboine Park Conservancy.

These locations are; The Leo Mol Gardens, the Conservatory building, and the Formal Gardens in the South East Corner of the park. Professional photography is not permitted in the English Gardens. The fees paid for these locations are used to fund the beautiful work done by our horticulture department in these areas. The cost of a photo shoot is $150 plus GST. This cost ensures that you have a reserved space available for your photo shoot, the horticultural material and grounds are in order and staff is available to assist in keeping visitors away from your shoot if necessary.

You can book your photo shoots by phoning Assiniboine Park’s Events Office at 204-927-6060. A Park Event Coordinator will assist you. Assiniboine Park is one of Winnipeg’s public parks and is managed by a not-for-profit organization, the Assiniboine Park Conservancy.

What are your views?

I personally think this is a slap to the face to Winnipeg. Who’s mandate was this?
