Purpose of Policy
To develop and implement clear direction in the event an external party seeks to use any of Bike Edmonton’s premises.

Bike Edmonton as an organization exists to facilitate community awareness of cycling culture. Visiting Bike Edmonton's space through an external party's event helps to familiarize people with Bike Edmonton and may encourage them to access its programs at a later time.

In making this decision, the Executive Director will consider the effect the rental will have on Bike Edmonton programs and operations; the risk Bike Edmonton is incurring to its property, reputation, relationships and liability; legality of the use and shared goals of the third party. The Executive Director shall set rental procedures and conditions so as to protect the interests of Bike Edmonton, including but not limited to liability, neighbourhood relations, and operations.
Definitions:
Bike Edmonton space: Any premises owned, leased or rented by Bike Edmonton which can be legally shared or sublet by others. Community Group: Any person or persons wishing to use Bike Edmonton space for anything that is not an Bike Edmonton-sanctioned program, regardless of whether the individuals involved are members, volunteers or staff of Bike Edmonton.
