Naming Privileges Policy

The Naming Privileges Policy governs the naming of physical assets in recognition of financial or in-kind contributions from individuals, businesses, organizations and others.  Naming recognition may be granted for the naming of buildings and other physical assets including, but not limited to, wings, rooms, laboratories, roads and other transportation infrastructure, recreational areas and other public spaces, collections of books or art, and equipment of significant value.

It applies to all government ministries and government bodies as defined in the Financial Administration Act.  Specifically, government bodies include hospitals and health authorities, Crown corporations, colleges, university colleges, universities and institutions.

The Naming Privileges Policy ensures a consistent framework across government and ensures that naming privileges are granted to benefactors in a fair and equitable manner.
