Liability Insurance
Prior to providing access to the Hall for the rental period (i.e. giving you your code for the front door lock), our administrator will require proof of Special Events liability insurance naming the Mabel Lake Community Club & Recreation Commission, as well as the Regional District of North Okanagan, as named insured. Lisa Frey at Capri CMW in Vernon (250-541-7159) has provided reasonable rates for several of our renters in the past, or you can purchase it online at https://www.eventpolicy.ca/, or search for "special events liability insurance british columbia". Purchasing online avoids brokerage fees, but hasn't necessarily proven cheaper.

You'll need to inform the insurer whether alcoholic beverages will be available at your event.

Liquor License
Refer to https://specialevents.bcldb.com for B.C. conditions allowing alcoholic beverages at your event. In particular you should know that you may not allow the people attending the event to bring their own liquor, at either a private or a public special event. Although the Hall administration will not monitor conditions in this regard during your event, the police may, and have been known to. More importantly, your event insurance could be voided in case of a claim where alcohol is involved but not authorized.
 
Camping
Overnight camping is permitted bridging a rental period of 2 days or more. No hook-ups are available. No open fires are permitted.
