Through our Community Use of Schools program, almost all of our
school spaces are available outside of school hours for not-for-profit
community groups. Our gyms, fields, auditoriums and classrooms are
available for your sporting events, concerts, recitals and more.
A list of all SCDSB elementary and secondary schools, including addresses, are available on our School Search.
COVID-19 update
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all indoor permits for the 2020-21 school year are cancelled until further notice. All outdoor permit requests for the months of September and October, only, will be assessed and approval will be determined based on feasibility and applicable government issued guidelines. Please note, access to indoor school facilities, including washrooms, will not be available.
Once the assessment for outdoor permit requests is complete, approved permit holders will be contacted directly to confirm availability and locations for outdoor use. Please note that outdoor permit holders must comply with all applicable government guidelines and recommended public health measures. Failure to comply with these expectations will result in the immediate cancellation of the permit.
Please send all inquiries regarding outdoor use to Susan Dunlop, Community and Facility Use Coordinator, at sdunlop@scdsb.on.ca.
