Program Definition

Community Use of Schools is an initiative that supports access to school space outside of school hours for not-for-profit community groups.

The Niagara Catholic District School Board supports the responsible use of Board facilities by the community where it does not detract from the operations of the facility as it pertains to Board/School programs.

The Board may enter into negotiated agreements for defined space requirements. Such agreements may include before and after school programs, licensed childcare centres, elections and polling stations.

Deposits

For all non-school related group permit uses, there shall be a refundable deposit of $100.00 required per facility per group, per year for the use of the facility. These deposits are payable in advance of the permit.

If a key to the facility is required a refundable deposit of $35.00 for each key issued is required.
