Frequently Asked Questions

 Can I bring my dog to the Block Box?
Well behaved dogs on a leash held by an adult are welcome at the Block Box. If another participant requests space from your dog, please oblige as this is a community program intended first and foremost for Orangeville residents (of the human variety). 
As always, please pick up after your pet.
 Can I take program materials home for my friends and family?
 No. Program materials are intended for community members who are present at the Block Box. 
Can kids attend the Block Box without a parent or guardian?
Children under 10 must be supervised by a parent or guardian over the age of 14. Program Leaders will provide a reasonable level of care, however will not be solely responsible for the supervision of any child. Participants may come to the program and leave at their leisure. Parent/guardians must be aware of the whereabouts of their child at all times.
 I run a home day care, can I bring the kids in my care to the Block Box?
The Block Box welcomes all Orangeville residents, including those in care at home day cares. Please note that staff are not here to supervise the kids as this remains the responsibility of the day care provider. Please be mindful of community participation at the program, allotment of program materials, and staff efforts to include a wide variety of program-goers.

Yes. Some locations have washroom facilities on site. Those that do not, have a portable bathroom unit available for use during program times.
