RENTALS

RENT OUR SPACE

We are focussed on serving the needs of our local and global community. Our building is a centre for community groups, providing affordable space for meetings, programs, music lessons, and rehearsal space for musicians. The West Island Women’s Centre (dedicated to improving the quality of life of women in the West Island), and Corbeille de Pain/ Bread Basket (promoting the accessibility and availability of healthy food on the West Island), use our space on a regular basis. If you are interested in renting our hall, sanctuary, or kitchen, please contact St. Columba’s rental coordinator, Paul Gallant.

Concert Rentals

St. Columba offers its sanctuary to music teachers for student concert rentals. December and May – June are the busiest concert months so teachers book the sanctuary months in advance.

The sanctuary is also available for professional musicians either by renting or by applying to perform in the St. Columba concert series. Please visit the concert series page for more information. For the concert series, please contact michael@stcolumba.ca.

The platform is wide and well-lit.

For concert rentals, please note that the amplification system is not included with a sanctuary rental, nor is there a sound technician. Musicians bring their own amplification system when renting the sanctuary.

If you are interested in renting the sanctuary, please contact the rental co-ordinator.
