Room Rental Guidelines

In order to assist us with the rental process we need to know:

  • The nature and type of event e.g. a meeting, an exhibition, etc.
  • The number of people expected to attend.
  • The date(s) and time(s) you are requesting. Unless otherwise agreed, all rentals will end at 11.00 p.m.
  • Any special equipment needs.

MBC requirements

  • Renters are responsible for obtaining their own liquor licence, if required, and for carrying any insurance required for their rental event. MBC maintains general insurance coverage for common areas only.
  • A deposit of 25% is required at the time of booking with the balance on the day following the reservation date.
  • HST applies to all rentals.
  • Should clean up be required after the event, or damage is caused, the cost of the clean up or repair will be charged to the renter at the rate of $30 hour and for replacement goods at the purchase cost plus tax and shipping.
