Community Use of Schools
Community Use of Schools is an initiative that supports access to school space outside of school hours for not-for-profit community groups. We are offering the rental of schools through a user friendly, online reservation process called eBase Community Use of Schools System. This system is being used at school boards throughout the province and has simplified the school facility rental process.

Approval:
Once a permit request has been reviewed and it has been approved, a permit will be electronically issued. When you receive your permit please review your dates carefully. Groups will need to print a copy of their permit and have this on hand when attending the school. If you receive a revised permit throughout the school year, you must bring in the most recent hard copy of the permit when attending the school. We will require a minimum of 10 business days to process a permit.
