Insurance for most events is available through All Sport Insurance Marketing Ltd. Should a renter choose to purchase this insurance, we can forward the request and payment directly to All Sport Insurance at the time of booking.

Special Event Permit

If an event will be serving liquor, a Permission to Apply Form and Special Event Permit must be approved by the City and security must be on site during the rental (at the renter's cost). The renter must comply with the Designated Driver Awareness Program as per Council Policy 310 and all other laws, regulations and bylaws in its use of the facility.  

SOCAN and Re:Sound

The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers (SOCAN) is Canada’s national performing rights society. Its role is to license the public performances of music in return for performing rights fees.
Re:Sound is the Canadian not-for-profit music licensing company dedicated to obtaining fair compensation for artists and record companies for their performance rights.

The Copyright Act of Canada requires that users of any music pay SOCAN and/or Re:Sound Tariffs to perform or authorize others to perform or use copyright music. Performances of music in public, whether in restaurants, clubs, hotels, banquet halls, dance halls, offices, stores etc., all require payment of the tariffs whether performed live or by recording and/or when broadcasting, communicating or playing recorded music in public.

Security

The City may require the renter pay for additional services of bonded uniformed security at functions.

For example:

  • Any events serving liquor will require security on site. 
  • Any events after operational hours will require security to open / close the facility. 

 

We may require the renter to pay for setup and takedown, and additional janitorial services.

Setup & takedown

If setup and takedown of the rental space is required such as tables and chairs, an additional cost will apply in alignment with the associated staff support per hour wage, at a minimum of two hours. 

Indoor Rentals Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take for my rental enquiry to receive a response?

We strive to respond within 10 business days, however during busier seasons such as holiday seasons, this may take up to three weeks.
If you haven’t received a response within 10 business days, please contact the Rentals Coordinator at 250-469-8957.

What is the cancellation rate?

All bookings are subject to a cancellation fee. Cancelled bookings regardless of the number of days’ notice will result in the forfeit of the Rental Deposit as outlined in the General Fees and Charges section of the rental contract. If the Agreement Holder (renter) delivers written notice of the cancellation at least 14 days prior to the event, the renter is not required to pay the full rental fee. If within the 14 days, the full Rental Fees may apply. Transfer of rental deposit may be allowed at the sole discretion of the City. 

Can I request a repeat booking?

At this time, due to space limitations, rentals within the City of Kelowna are considered only for one-off events or occasions, with priority given to non-profit organizations or functions. Repeat bookings may be permitted at the sole discretion of the City for non-profit event purposes, if space allows within the seasonal limitations of the City’s allocation guidelines.

Can we have alcohol at our event?

A Special Occasion Permit is required for all events with alcohol which the renter must obtain through the provincial government. Upon proof of completion the City requires a security guard, to be arranged by the City, to be onsite during the period when alcohol is served. The security rates are at the expense of the renter.

When do I get the damage deposit back?

Typically within 7 to 10 business days after the event, the damage deposit will be issued back to the renter.

Can I adjust the time of the rental?

Staff require a minimum of five (5) business days to alter rental request prior to the rental as a large number of rental requests are reviewed and processed. Please note that alterations to a signed agreement are subject to an administration processing fee. 

Is there air conditioning or heating within rentable City facilities?

Yes, depending on the season, there is either air conditioning or heating to ensure a comfortable experience.

Does the rental include a projector and screen?

Most facilities, other than City Hall Meeting Rooms, do not include a projector and screen. For professional presentations you are permitted to bring your own equipment in or hire an audio-visual company.

How do I get into the facility?

Aside from Parkinson Recreation Centre during regular business hours, all other facilities will have security meet patrons to open and close the building. This cost is part of the rental fees and contract. Keys are not provided.
