Media Advisory: Media Access to Colonial Building for House of Assembly Proceedings

  • House of Assembly

October 3, 2022

The House of Assembly advises that media requiring access to Colonial Building for House proceedings on Wednesday, October 5 and Thursday, October 6 will be required to pre-register. Some media capacity will be available in the gallery of the Assembly Chamber, with remaining capacity allocated in the Legislative Council Chamber, where a live video feed of proceedings will be available.

Media must pre-register with Mark Jerrett (markjerrett@gov.nl.ca or 729-6943) by 10 a.m. on Wednesday, October 5.  

Media are also advised that access to the Chamber floor for the purposes of videography/photography during the Speech from the Throne will not be permitted due to space constraints, but media may take video/photos from the gallery. A video feed will also be available in the Legislative Council Chamber and on the House of Assembly website, and photos of the Throne Speech will be available to media upon request. The Legislative Council Chamber will also serve as the designated area for media interviews.

Media can access Colonial Building via the east ground floor entrance (off Bannerman Road). Limited parking will be available at Commissariat House.
