Rentable Spaces

Spaces typically available for rent include gymnasiums, auditoriums, secondary classrooms, cafeterias, and sports fields. Specialized rooms, such as weight rooms, computer labs, food rooms, science labs and tech rooms, are not available for rent.

Rental Activities

School facilities can be rented for a wide range of community-based activities and programs that help to build strong and healthy communities such as homework help programs, reading clubs, new parent classes, sports and recreation, health & wellness programs, Scout/Guide/Cadet club meetings, community theatre etc.

Prohibited Activities

• School facilities shall not be used in any manner contrary to the Ministry of Education, Lambton Kent or St. Clair Catholic District School Board’s Rules and Regulations.
• Schools are not available for private functions such as team parties, dances, receptions, birthday parties, funerals, memorial services, weddings, anniversaries, baby showers or other privately sponsored activities.
• Schools may not be rented for activities that may damage facilities such as, but not limited to: gym use for lacrosse, cricket, roller skating/derby, baseball, football, tennis, golf, dodge ball, floor/ball hockey.
• Schools may not be used for sleeping accommodation except in unusual circumstances and contingent upon the necessary approvals. (i.e., CLASS Operations Committee and Chief Fire Official)

Priority of Use

The primary use of school facilities, building and grounds, is for the delivery of education to students. School day activities, extra-curricular activities and parent involvement activities organized or administered by the school/board have priority of use of space during and after regular school hours. Applications are NOT approved solely on a first-come, first-serve basis. When rentable spaces are not required, outside regular school hours, for school/board programs and rental groups desire the same time fame and the same location the following factors will be taken into consideration, the rental category and activity, potential for alternative venues, previous history of the rental group and long-term bookings versus single use bookings. As school boards, our primary goal is to, whenever possible, provide access to not-for-profit organizations running programs for local youth.
