How to Rent a Facility
Grand Erie District School Board provides a seamless process to booking a school facility through a user-friendly online booking system. Renting a school facility is simple and can be done in the comfort of your own home.
Community Use of School permits for the next school year commences on July 1 and depending on the volume, may take up to 3-4 weeks to complete.
For new bookings throughout the school year, applications must be submitted no less than two (2) weeks prior to the start date.
Renting a school facility is a simple 4-step process
STEP ONE – CREATE AN ACCOUNT
Create an account by clicking on the CREATE A PERMIT link at the right. You must be at least 19 years of age, have a valid email address, a valid Visa or MasterCard to cover rental fees, provide a Certificate of Comprehensive Liability Insurance and agree to the rules governing the use of school facilities.
*Please ensure someone from your organization does not already have a booking account. We ask that one person from an organization submit the permits to maintain permit history for ease of processing future permits.

Once your application has been approved a permit will be electronically issued. When you receive your permit please review your dates carefully.
