Recreation facility hours

Saunas and steam rooms

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

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

Online registration for fitness sessions will not be required. Patrons may drop in on a first-come, first-serve basis.

To accommodate essential cleaning closures, fitness participants will be required to exit the change rooms. Cleaning schedules will vary by site and can be checked on individual facility pages.
