Community Use of Schools

To book a Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board facility, you start by creating an account in our on-line database.  After reading the information below, simply click on this link Let’s Get Started.

Users must:

• be 18 years of age or older.
• have a valid e-mail account that can receive account information and approved permits.
• agree to the ‘Rules Governing the Use of School Properties’ 
• register a valid Visa or Master Card to cover applicable fees. The database will give you 24/7 secure access to your account to check charges and payments.
• provide a certificate of insurance in the minimum amount of $2 million for Liability Insurance naming the Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board as an ‘additional insured’. Groups that do not carry liability insurance can purchase it through the BGCDSB Blanket Insurance based provided by OSBIE (Ontario School Board Insurance Exchange). The cost of the liability insurance will be added to the permit costs.

Board or principal-sanctioned activities that occur outside of the regular school hours. These activities must have a curriculum focus and directly benefit the students of the school. These activities are free of charge and must be
booked through the community use of schools program to avoid conflicts. Activities of a personal nature or connection and/or for personal gain are not considered school or Board activities.

Community activities performed by non-profit organizations that do not result in a financial gain. Open and available to the general public, these community not-for-profit groups include youth-related community groups, recognized children's sports and recreation service providers, and local service clubs.

Groups or individuals desiring to use the facilities for direct or indirect profit-making purposes of non-profit status.
