Please include your desired booking time and additional accommodations in your booking request. Please request your booking at least one week in advance.

The Loop is diligently kept tidy by DARC and City of Ottawa staff but as a community space it is expected that all members clean up after themselves and re-arrange furniture to it’s original configuration after use. Art supplies such as paint, ink, permanent markers, glitter, glue, are forbidden in the space without consultation. Depending on the size of the booking or event, the member may be asked to provide a pre-authorized hold on their credit card to book the space. If damage occurs in the space members must inform DARC staff and may be subject to a cleaning/repair fee.
Please remember that this is a shared space with other members and we are in a shared public building. Please keep noise to a conversational level out of respect for those needing to concentrate. Absolutely no audio is to be played without headphones.
We ask that during all access hours members keep their meetings to 4 people and under so as to not dominate the space for other users. If your meeting involves more than 4 people you must privately book the space.
No alcohol is to be consumed on the premises without the purchase of a Special Occasion Permit. If your private booking involves the consumption and or sale of alcohol you must consult DARC staff, and with their approval purchase and share a copy of SOP for your event.
The Loop is a child friendly environment, so long as your child/children does not disturb or disrupt those also working in the space. DARC loves puppies but due to allergies we ask that dogs are not brought into the space. However, service animals are very welcome. Please let us know in advance if your service animal will be present so we can ensure your and their comfort.
