Arena bookings are automatically renewed for the next same season once a group earns renewal rights. Arena seasons are:

• Winter - January to March
• Fall - October to December

This means we’ll automatically reserve the same day and time slot for next year's season – e.g. Winter – for groups with renewal rights; no application required.

To earn renewal rights, a group must have a rental and payment history of 10 or more regularly-scheduled bookings, in each of the previous two seasons, at the same time, same arena, same day for 10 dates within a session Fall or Winter, with fees paid on time. Groups meeting these criteria for the first time are called New Renewals.

New Renewals must maintain the same rental and payment history that earned their eligibility for an additional two years. During that period, you'll continue submitting rental applications on the date(s) specified for your group.

After two years in good standing as a New Renewal, you rental status is upgraded to Established Renewals.

An Established Renewal status means your permit is automatically renewed – rental applications are no longer required. If your group no longer needs the arena, please refer to your renewal package for information on how and when to cancel without penalty.

It takes two years to earn renewal rights, and two years to lose them. This allows for the occasional scheduling change or disruption. The City may withdraw Renewal Rights from renters who sub-let time slots without permission or fail to show.

Amendments (including time changes) will not be accepted and rental fees are not refunded for cancelled bookings scheduled between April 1 and Aug. 31.

Rental fees will be refunded for canceling a booking scheduled between September and March, provided the cancelation is received by Facility Bookings 30 calendar days or more before the rental date.

Amendments (including time changes) received less than 30 days of the booking will not be accepted. An administrative fee of $10.50 will be charged once for up to 10 cancellations or amendments, per permit, per request. 

Cancellations or amendments received within 30 days of the booking are non-refundable.
