Community Use of Schools

The Community Use of Schools program, established by the Ontario Ministry of Education, facilitates access to school facilities beyond regular school hours.

RRDSB schools are key community hubs that encourage learning and participation in numerous activities provided by local organizations. They create an environment for individuals to unite, volunteer, develop skills, engage in community programs, promote physical activity, and fostering active, healthy communities.
School facilities include gymnasiums, classrooms, kitchen and cafeterias, learning commons, athletic fields, and areas designated for outdoor learning.

The RRDSB supports and promotes community involvement in utilizing its facilities and resources. 
Our goal is to make the booking process for a learning space as smooth as possible. You can now reserve a school facility from the comfort of your home or office using eBase.

Before booking a school facility please read Policy 6.10 Community Use of School Facilities and Grounds
