Saunas and Whirlpools

All sauna and whirlpools, except Dunbar and Marpole, will reopen on January 24.

Proof of vaccination

The BC vaccine card is the only accepted form of proof of vaccination. Paper immunization records received at vaccine appointments are no longer accepted as proof of vaccination. Participants will be required to show the digital or printed version of the vaccine card QR code.

Get your BC vaccine card

Proof of vaccination is required to participate in some programs and events. Entry into recreation centres does not require proof of vaccination, but will be required for some programs and activities. Come prepared with your BC vaccine card and government-issued photo ID.

Masks

Masks are mandatory in our facilities at all times with the exception of those under the age of 5. Masks can be removed when actively exercising, but we strongly encourage people wear a mask even during their physical activities.

If you do not have a mask, one will be provided at the front desk.

Dunbar Fitness Centre — located near the University of British Columbia on Vancouver's west side — is a fully-accessible space with cardio and strength training machines, indoor bicycles, free weights, and functional props.

The sauna and hot tub are closed due to COVID-19 safety measures.
