Rent A School Space
Community Use Changes for 2023-2024
Due to changes within the school system and feedback from schools, stakeholders and Board staff there will be several modifications to how community use will be administered for the 2023-2024 school year.
- There will be no Friday night bookings in elementary schools. This will allow custodial staff an opportunity to concentrate on meeting cleaning objectives.
- There will be no regular aka ‘weekly’ weekend bookings. Weekends will remain open for booking for one-off events like tournaments. Classes, practices and other weekly activities will not be booked on weekends any longer however.
- There will be no bookings during holiday or long weekends ie. Easter, Thanksgiving, Family Day weekends etc.
- Certain schools, as determined by the Building Services department, will not be booked for community use to help support custodial staff. We will block these schools out of the system as soon as possible.
PLEASE HAVE YOUR SUMMER PERMITS SUBMITTED BY MARCH 15.
PLEASE HAVE YOUR 2024-2025 PERMITS SUBMITTED BY APRIL 30.
