.Booking information must include the name and phone number of one contact person, expected number of people, any special equipment needs, arrival and departure time including set-up and take-down time.

• We believe that all of our users will respect our equipment and facilities and treat them as if they were their own.

• We specifically hope that the equipment and facilities will be returned to the condition they were in prior to the event, including where possible the dismantling and stacking of chairs and tables. If a special set-up is required, this can be arranged through the Secretary. An extra cost may be incurred for custodial time.

• It is particularly important to us that the thermostats are returned to a low setting (15 degrees C.) at the end of an event. The cost to heat our Church is approaching $9000 per year! We need all the help we can get in controlling this cost.

• Smoking and the consumption of alcoholic beverages without the required “Special Occasions Permit” and Smart Service are not permitted inside the facilities.

• Please report any breakage, spillage or safety issue to the Secretary as soon as possible. We must reserve the right to assess any damage and claim it from the group or individual using the facility.

• All perishables plus cooking and other equipment that has been brought to the Church is to be removed immediately following the event.

• The final authority regarding the use of the Sanctuary will be the Chair of Session.

• The final authority regarding the use of the banquet room and meeting room will be the Chair of Stewards

Those people attending functions organized by groups that are not affiliated with St. Paul’s United Church are not covered by the Church’s liability insurance. Booking an event with the Church is acknowledgement of the responsibility of the group or individual to provide their own liability protection.

We at St. Paul’s United, look forward to serving your needs for many years to come!

We hope we can help make your event a success and we thank you for your interest and cooperation.
