Program Definition:
Community Use of Schools is an initiative that supports access to school space outside of school hours for community groups. The complete policy and procedure can be accessed below.
Criteria for Qualifying for Reduced Rates:
It is the current practice of the Upper Canada District School Board to provide affordable access to not-for-profit groups subject to availability. This affordable access has been possible due to the Community Use of Schools Grant provided annually by the Ministry of Education.
