2024/2025 EVENT BOOKINGS
Event applications are now closed. Event requests for our 2025-2026 event season will go live April 1, 2025.
Please note that as we embark on our LEAP facility expansion, we foresee some minor impacts to auxiliary spaces and parking as early as June 2024. We will provide as much notice as possible if there are any changes that may impact the 2024-2025 event season.
We expect renovations to our Aquatic spaces to take place from July 2025 to December 2025.
A few helpful tips for completing the event application:
- Submit any and all event requests you wish to host in the 2025/2026 season – Late event requests may not be accepted.
- Complete one application per event you wish to host at MNP Community & Sport Centre.
- Requests will only be accepted via the application, no email submissions please.
- Include as much detail as possible.
- Event bookings must align with facility hours.
- Ensure we have the full event name listed.
- If you are co-hosting the event with another club or organization, please make a note of this in the event information.
- Recreational camps, training camps or small internal meets will not be approved through this application process, please put these requests in for consideration through your facility booking contact.
- Event requests/dates are not guaranteed. As MNP Community & Sport Centre receives more than 100 event requests annually, we are unable to guarantee approval of event applications or confirm any events prior to our approval process deadline.
- Please refrain from beginning preparations for your event until you have received official confirmation from MNP Community & Sport Centre.
Events are considered anything beyond a typical booking where setup, spectators, higher participant numbers, equipment needs, etc., are impacted.
Should there be an unforeseen emergency where a late notice event venue is required, please contact the Competition and Event Coordinator to discuss the circumstances of your request and needs.
We look forward to the opportunity to host your event!
If you have any questions or concerns prior to submitting your application, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Carlee Morris, Competition & Event Coordinator at events@MNPcentre.com
