There are four main things to remember when renting space in Cecil Community Centre:
CCC is a not-for-profit. We have been serving our community for the last 40 years, but we still need to fundraise for all of the programs and services that we offer the community. 90% of your rental fee goes towards supporting families, youth, and seniors in downtown Toronto.
A single wedding provides 20 children in our after-school program with a nutritious snack every day for an entire year.
There are only three fees you might need to worry about as a CecilVenues Event Host:
1. Cleaning and Maintenance Fee
2. Multi-Staff Assistance Fee
3. Displacement Fee
1. Cleaning and Maintenance Fee
This fee is a mandatory cost added to every event. It includes an extra hour of rental in which our crew will clean and rearrange the space, returning our venue it to its original state. This fee also helps us cover costs such as garbage tags and cleaning supplies.
To better match our cleaning fees with event needs, Cecil Venues has implemented a tiered system based on the size and impact of each event.
Initial Event Fee: For all first-time clients, a $300 cleaning fee applies. Repeat clients will be charged according to our tiered structure for future events.
Low Impact Cleaning ($100): Minimal cleanup for events without food, alcohol, or AV use.
Moderate Impact Cleaning ($200): For events with seating/table arrangements and AV set-up, but no
food or alcohol.
High Impact Cleaning ($300): For events with food/alcohol and AV setup.
*** We ask that guests refrain from bringing glitter products and metallic confetti to events.
2. Multi-Crew Assistance Fee
For events that are larger than usual and require more work and subsequent staffing from our end, there is an additional charge of $25/hour (This extra cost goes directly to our crew!)
An event qualifies for the large party surcharge if the event fulfills any 2 of the following:
o Alcohol is planned to be served
o Food is planned to be served
o There are 100 or more planned attendants
o Dinnerware is planned to be rented and delivered to our building
3. Displacement Fee
This is an additional charge of $150/hour for events that require us to reschedule or cancel our community programs. The hourly cost applies to the time that our program would have been running. We always prefer to not cancel our community programs but this fee exists for the events that absolutely need the extra time that we don’t normally offer.
