If you or your group supply your own insurance, you should check with your insurance provider to see if there are any exclusions.
If you cannot supply your own insurance, we can provide coverage options for many activities and types of rentals for an additional fee.
We make every effort to keep our facilities open for scheduled activities and rentals. When unsafe weather conditions occur, the city may close facilities. We will post facility closure updates online. You can also call 905-335-7738 to receive facility closure updates.
When Environment Canada issues a weather alert, advisory or watch, facility renters can proactively cancel or reschedule their booking without penalty. If you wish to proactively cancel your rental due to weather, email at least two hours prior to rental start time. You will be contacted by email the next business day to confirm adjustments to your facility rental contract.
Why is the City offering short-term rentals?
Sometimes the community rooms at Tansley Woods, Brant Hills and Alton Community Centres are not in use during weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. We want to offer residents the chance to use these rooms with flexible fees or for free on short notice. You get to use a room, and we get to see the space used in our staffed facility. Our goal is to provide accessible space for everyone in the community!
Are the community rooms available every day?
The community rooms are available on weekdays only. You can book them Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. hours may vary per location., if they have not been previously booked. Hours may vary per location.
For Free On-The-Spot bookings, you can book up to a 90-minute timeslot. Your timeslot can be extended if there are no other requests to book the space.
Community rooms are available for personal and community use, such as meetings, card games, and light activities.
For example, if you're a parent with children waiting during a sibling’s swimming lesson, you can book a room to play games and pass the time. Or, if your group outing to the park gets rained out, you can reserve a room to continue spending time together and keep the activity going.
