Honorary gift to esteemed individuals
TheKey to the City is a symbol of theFreedom of the City presented by a town or city's municipal government to esteemed residents or visitors whom the city wishes to honour. The award, usually an ornamental key, is generally presented by the mayor or some other public figure at an award ceremony. Some cities allow visiting celebrities to request that a key be granted to them, a practice which has resulted in some controversy.[ 1]
The local equivalent is theWhite Hat ceremony , which was begun in the 1950s by MayorDonald Hugh MacKay . The first white felt cowboy hat was given to the Mayor of Toronto,Hiram E. McCallum , as thanks for his hosting during the36th Grey Cup (1948). The honour can be requested through Tourism Calgary; white hatting ceremonies are also conducted for individual tourists and groups by a volunteer corps at theCalgary International Airport .[ 2]
