Booking School Spaces
Durham District School Board schools are public buildings. They are available for public use after regular school hours. To book a space, you will need a permit. You will be responsible to adhere to the rules, regulations and cancellation information as well as all policies, and procedures, maintenance and cleaning standards.
Commercial and non-profit rentals
Both commercial and non-profit organizations can book school spaces. We are able to give non-profit groups a reduced rental rate.
Non-profit definition
A non-profit is a local group or organization which is supported in whole or in part by government funds, or is a registered charitable organization under the Income Tax Act, and where the function is open to the public. This includes all religious, cultural, community service organizations, amateur sports organizations, citizens' groups and recognized political organizations.
Gym availability
DDSB will begin accepting permit applications from external user groups for the remainder of this school year in April. Renewal status from previous years will not be recognized. Priority will be given to children's programs, as detailed in section 5.4.3 of our updated Policy. We have also updated our Procedure. Permit fees are currently being reviewed for the 2022-23 school year. Applicants will be notified of the new rates prior to the issuing of permits for September 2022. For inquiries, email CommunityUseOfSchools@ddsb.ca.
How to book
You will need to create and use your account to make a permit request and book space. Start by watching the instructional permit video before making booking requests.
