Booking guidelines

When using our facilities, you must follow the Town's R Zone policy that promotes respectful behaviour. A few additional guidelines to consider include:

Acceptable use of town facilities and public spaces

Be a good neighbour!

Permit holders - sports organizations, teams, players and residents - who are using the Town of Shelburne's sports fields are required to conduct themselves in a respectful and responsible way. 

Inappropriate behaviour

Staff conduct regular checks of sports fields and parks to ensure proper use. The majority of sports field users act in a respectful way, however, there are occasions when inappropriate behaviour is reported such as:

  • aggressive or bullying behaviour
  • foul language
  • public urination
  • littering
  • smoking
  • drinking alcohol on public property, or
  • leaving field lights on after play is finished.

Report an incident

There is now a formal procedure to investigate and manage inappropriate behaviour by users of our sports fields. If you witness or experience any conduct violations, please report the incident through our online Town's R Zone policy.

Criminal behaviours such as illegal substance use, fighting or assault, theft, possession or use of weapons, or harassment (non-emergencies) should be reported to Ontario Provincial Police 519-925-3838 (non-emergency calls).

Consequences and enforcement

Incidents of inappropriate behaviour by permit holders or team members will be investigated. If the details are confirmed, disciplinary action will be taken. Action can include a verbal and/or written warning, fine, permit suspension or loss of permit, depending on the severity of the incident and any prior violations.

Liquor licence

If you are serving alcohol at an event hosted in one of the rooms at the Recreation Complex, you must apply for a liquor licence. You must have a Special Occasion Permit and Smart Serve certified server present in order to serve alcoholic beverages to your guests.

If you are serving alcohol at an event hosted on Town property, you will need council approval. If you are selling alcohol, you will need to apply for a liquor license in addition to Town Council approval

Liability insurance

Liability Insurance is mandatory for all facility rentals. 

Set up and take down

You are responsible for your own set up and take down when using CDRC rooms. We will provide tables and chairs; however, you are responsible for any food, plates, utensils or decorations necessary for your event.

Service disruptions and field closures

Permit holders are advised to assess the field conditions prior to using the space.

If saturation is high (visible puddling, soft play surfaces), avoid using the space and report field saturation that interrupts usage to rentals@shelburne.ca. Damage caused to the play areas can have significant impact on the usability of the entire field for the remainder of the season.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we protect the standards of the fields.
