Facility Rentals
COVID-19 Restrictions
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are not currently renting our facilities to groups outside the SMUS community. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Situated on 19 park-like acres in Victoria, British Columbia, the modern facilities at St. Michaels University School (SMUS) provide the ideal setting for a wide range of events such as conferences, corporate retreats, sporting events, weddings, theatrical performances and movie productions.
SMUS permits external groups to rent our facilities under the following conditions:
- Use of the facilities and/or space is in line with the values and goals of SMUS and does not disrupt the daily operations of the school.
- The group or agency making a request adheres to a nondiscriminatory policy in membership, goals and activities based on personal beliefs or characteristics such as political views, religion, national or ethnic origin, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disabilities. Further, the services of the group or agency are beneficial to the community-at-large.
Inquiries and Bookings
We welcome inquiries from internal groups who would like to use and enjoy our facilities.
