PARKING And Other Services
The BCL hall does not have a parking lot so hall users must park along 73rd and 74th Avenues and 115th and 116th Streets. Time limitations are applied to these streets between 8 am – 6 pm.

The BCL has neither garbage collection services nor daily janitorial services so renters are required to take garbage generated during their event home with them. As well, they agree to leave the hall in the same condition as they found it so all renters are expected to use the cleaning sup[plies provided by the BCL.

TRANSIT
The McKernan-Belgravia LRT station is four blocks away. Bus transit stops two blocks are located along 76 Avenue between 114th & 116th Streets/

Rental policies

The Belgravia Community League (BCL) is a volunteer, not-for-profit organization bound by the Tripartite Agreement it has with the City of Edmonton and Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues. The BCL has been formed to meet the social and recreational needs of its members who reside within the defined community league area of Belgravia. Resources managed by the BCL include the Community League Hall and Rink.

To rent the BCL hall, you must be a current member of the BCL. Current members of another community league in the City can purchase an Associate BCL membership for rental and program participation purposes.

The BCL hall is to be used by not-for-profit entities whose purpose is to promote social and recreational opportunities for BCL members and their families and their friends.

Rental arrangements will take the form of a:
- Single Event Contract (i.e., celebrations); or,
- Seasonal Term Contract (physical activity classes, creative arts and craft classes, clubs including bridge, knitting, quilting, gardening.
- Seasonal Term Contracts must be open to sharing their program participant list to show a majority are Belgravia residents. Seasonal Term contracts are reviewed prior to the end of each season before another one is signed with same user group.

The maximum number of hours the hall can be rented by any one user group is four (4) hours during the week (Monday to Friday) for fall and winter program contracts. Weekend (Saturday/Sunday) single event contracts will be determined by the rental event request and hall availability.
A Hall Rental Contract is signed by the renter. Once that is received by the BCL, along with the rental fee and damage/cleaning deposit, the appropriate door for the rental space is programmed to automatically open at the beginning of the rental period and lock at the end of it. Note: Events where alcohol is served require a $500 Damage deposit. All other rental events require a $60 Cleaning Fee (in cash) deposit to cover post event clean-up if not completed.
The rental space is inspected with the renter during an orientation to the space before the rental period. The Hall Manager inspects the space after the rental event. Both the damage and cleaning fee deposits are returned if the hall is left in order as outlined in rental contract including lights out, windows closed, garbage generated at event removed by renter as the BCL does not have City Garbage Removal service.
