Rent School Space
For many years, the Peel District School Board has provided Community Use of Schools program permits at a reduced rate by subsidizing operational and labour costs. Understanding the financial pressures families, community members and agencies are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Peel board will maintain 2019-20 permit rates for the 2020-21 school year. |

Community Use of Schools
Schools are hubs of the community and a convenient venue for a host of recreational, group and corporate activities. School facilities provide a place to come together, volunteer, build skills, access community programs, become physically active and build strong and healthy communities. Community groups are encouraged to utilize our spaces.
Rent School Space
Space is made available to the community when it is not needed by the school. All new requests are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. If space is required for a school function, an existing permit will be cancelled. Permit Holders will be given as much notice as possible. Every effort will be made to give the Permit Holder adequate notice. A minimum of three weeks notice is required to process a permit. Please allow six weeks notice for larger events requiring use of kitchen facilities. Community use hours of use on weekdays is from 6-10pm and weekends from 7a.m. to 11 p.m.
Process and timelines for community permit credits, refunds
Permit holders received information on the process and timelines for account credits and refunds to reflect the reinstatement of subsidies provided to community permit holders.
On February 24, Peel District School Board staff started to issue refunds/credits for previously booked permits. Due to the number of annual permits booked throughout Peel board schools and worksites, this process will take time to complete for all permit holders. We hope to have all credits/refunds issued by the end of the school year.
