  • More than one reservation request date requires Liability insurance. You will need to provide us with a copy of the policy. Standard requirements are as follows:

The licensee must obtain Comprehensive General Liability Insurance protecting the City of Vancouver, Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, and the Vancouver Police Board against liability for bodily injury, death or property damage, arising out of the activity. The minimum limits shall be $2,000,000 inclusive per occurrence, maximum deductible $500.00 per occurrence, with a cross liability clause. Acceptable proof of insurance must be received by the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation prior to the use of any facilities covered under this permit.

NOTE: The foregoing satisfies the City's minimum insurance requirements. The City does not warrant that this insurance is adequate for the licensee's needs. By accepting this permit, the licensee acknowledges sole responsibility for obtaining whatever coverage the licensee deems necessary.

Clients must book ice for a minimum of 1 hour.

  • Cancellations/Refunds/Switching dates
    We need at least 3 weeks notice for any cancellations before you will get a refund.  A charge of $25.00 will apply.  For any multiple of 5 cancellations on the same permit, you will be charged another $25.00.

    If you want to switch a date, please email your cancellation to pbrinks@vancouver.ca (with at least 3 weeks notice) and re-book your new request online. There will be a $25.00 administration fee.
