Facility and Park Rentals

As more of the city’s indoor recreation facilities reopen, the priority remains limiting the spread of COVID-19 and strictly following Provincial and Regional health directives.

As a result, there are reduced rental opportunities for the City’s recreation facilities.

• To allow for physical distancing, capacities at City rinks, gyms, auditoriums, rooms and pools are reduced. To help off-set this, City Council has approved a 25% reduction in hourly rental rates for the season.
• Buffer times will be built in before and after all activities to allow for cleaning and disinfection protocols and the safe movement of attendees in and out of the activity spaces and facility.
• Halton District School Board and Halton Catholic District School board facilities are not available for community use.
• In order to respond to the constant changes with COVID-19, recreation staff will be allocating facility space for the Fall 2020 season only. A separate allocation process will happen later this season for facility rental dates after January 2021.
• Recreation staff will be allocating space based on the Framework for Community Recreation that was approved by City Council on Feb. 24, 2020.
• Given the complexity of the situation, the limited inventory and following the recommendations from the province, the City will not be renting space to private groups or to individuals for any recreation, sport, meetings or socials at this time. Private renters and individuals that have previously been included in seasonal space allocation will be contacted by their City relationship manager.
• All originally scheduled Tournaments and Festivals & Events at city recreation facilities are cancelled due to limits on gathering sizes.
