Saunas and steam rooms

We are reopening saunas and steam rooms at Britannia, Hillcrest, Kitsilano, Lord Byng, Mount Pleasant, Renfrew, Templeton, False Creek, Trout Lake, and Vancouver Aquatic Centre.

Saunas and steam rooms at other facilities will remain closed for maintenance and other operational considerations.

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.

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

Programming

We are moving forward with full programming for community centres, including:
- Easing of physical distancing measures
- Gradual and phased re-implementation of pre-pandemic operations and full recreational programming
- Elimination of one-way traffic flow and re-introduction of lobby and social seating
- Phased increased occupancy for pools, fitness centres, and rinks
Participation in community centre programming may be affected by the recent Provincial Health Authority regulations. Program registrants will be updated as soon as information becomes available.

Kitsilano War Memorial Community Centre – located near West Broadway and Macdonald St – has programs for all ages and abilities.

We have childcare, special needs activities, a youth centre, seniors' lounge, dance studio, ice rink, and fitness centre with a sauna and whirlpool. Outside, there is a playground at Connaught Park.
