Facility management for places of worship
Places of worship host services, celebrations, meals and community programs, often looked after by volunteers. Orbit keeps the building ready for every gathering and gives your board clear, simple reporting.
Inspection-ready
What we keep running

| Community kitchens | Kitchens used for community meals are subject to public health food premises rules.O. Reg. 493/17, Food Premises | Equipment repairs, exhaust cleaning, pest control and deep cleaning. |
| Fire and life safety | Assembly occupancies have fire inspections, occupancy limits and exit requirements.Ontario Fire Code | Licensed inspections, monthly checks and deficiencies closed out. |
| Parking and snow | Lots and walkways must be safe for elders and families, especially on busy days. | Plowing and salting timed to services, with logged visits. |
| Heritage and finishes | Older buildings need careful, respectful repairs. | Repairs planned with the board and appropriate trades. |
This summary is a guide, not legal advice. Your licence conditions, municipality, insurer and inspectors may add requirements. We build each site’s program from its own documents and inspection history.
