Community Use of Schools

Community Use of Schools is an initiative that supports affordable access to school space outside of school hours for not-for-profit community groups and as such the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board extends the use of our school facilities to our community.


How to Rent School Space

All rentals should be requested through the Facilities Services Department.  Please do not contact the schools directly.

Before beginning the facility rental process, please ensure that you are authorized by your organization to rent facilities.

You must provide the following information:

  • A valid e-mail address, plus password
  • A valid credit card or provide cheque for balance in full 1 week prior to the commencement of your event
  • A copy of the certificate of insurance in the amount of $2 million for Liability Insurance naming the Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board as an additional insured. Groups that do not carry liability insurance can purchase liability insurance through the WECDSB. The cost of the liability insurance will be added to the Permit cost.
  • You must agree to the terms and conditions before your permit will be granted
  • School Board staff select this to enter school permit requestExternal link
