Bookings & Rentals

Our main priority is for programs, followed by on-off meetings, workshops, resident birthday parties, etc. Our aim is to use the community centre in ways that benefit our UNA residents and local community by enabling a wide range of activities.

Please note, for-profit businesses that offer programs similar to our current and potential program offerings are not permitted. If you are a business or individual that has an idea for running a program in our facilities, please fill out our program proposal form.

Availability can be checked in person at the community centres, or over the phone 604-822-4227. This information is subject to change, if someone has already requested the use of the space.

• Most rooms are equipped with audio and basic VGA/HDMI projection systems. We can provide tables and chairs provided there is availability of equipment in the centres between other programs and facility reservations.
• User groups may rent tables, chairs, and other event equipment from a third party. The delivery and setup times for these arrangements must be included in the total booking of the space.
• Tables and chairs are not included with field rentals, but there is seating for spectators. Tents, tables and chairs can be set up around the perimeter of the field, but must be kept off the playing surface.

Requests must be made at least a week in advance. However, this is no guarantee that the dates will be available and you should have a few other alternatives dates ready.

We can provide a few on-site options:

Coffee ($20/10 people), Tea ($20/10 people), and Cold Water ($15/10 people).

Users are welcome to coordinate with an outside caterer of their choice. The delivery and setup times for these arrangements must be included in the total booking of the space.

Fields Cancellation Policy

We have recently updated our cancellation policy. All cancellation requests must be received in writing 30 days prior to the booking that is to be cancelled. If less than 30 days’ notice is provided, the renter will pay the rent in full. On contracts where there are weekly bookings throughout a season, cancellation notice must be received in writing 30 days prior to the booking that is to be cancelled.
