Booking terms and conditions

Payments and cancellations

Cancellation Policy

The booking fee is non-refundable and is due immediately after booking. Bookings may be cancelled until 45 days prior to the date of site use. If a group cancels their booking less than 45 days prior to the date of site use, the group will still be required to pay the site rental fee unless another group can be found to take over the booking.

If a rental has to be cancelled by Girl Guides Calgary Area for safety reasons (ex. highway travel is not recommended), the booking group can reschedule to another available date within the current Guiding year. Please note that the option to reschedule does not apply if a camp is cancelled due to lack of Safe Guide approval. To cancel or reschedule a booking, contact ANY-PropertyBookings@girlguides.ca.

Payment Process

Payments are transferred directly from the booking group's GGC Nationwide Banking Account on the Due Date(s) listed in the confirmation email. The booking fee is due immediately upon booking. The rental fee is due 7 days after the site use date. Please ensure your account has sufficient funds.

If you have rented equipment, the total cost may be affected by your actual number of participants and/or equipment use. In this case, the cost will be adjusted as applicable, when you notify ANY-PropertyBookings@girlguides.ca of your actual equipment usage. If this notification is received after payment date stated in your invoice, the balance amount as stated in the invoice will be taken out of the Unit Banking Account and the appropriate payment adjustment will be made separately and directly to the Unit account at a later date.

Conditions

  • One Guider from the rental group must contact any-calgaryfacilities@girlguides.ca to receive the building access codes one week prior to their date of use.
  • If a renter accidentally sets off the building alarm and the security company responds, then call out fees will be charged to the renter responsible.
  • Please answer the red phone if it rings and be ready to provide your name and access code and password to the security company.
  • Please protect table tops when doing crafts.
  • Use of the kitchen must follow cooking guidelines set out in the rental manual and posted in the kitchen.
  • It is recommended that at least one adult have site orientation and remain on site for the entire rental period. There is no caretaker on site.
