NVRC is honoured to have three facilities recognized in this year’s North Shore News 2026 Readers Choice Awards.

Delbrook Community Recreation Centre was voted ‘Favourite Recreation Centre’ for the eighth year in a row and received a special Platinum Award for being the favourite for more than five consecutive years. Karen Magnussen Community Recreation Centre was also one of the top three in the recreation centre category. 

Centennial Theatre was voted ‘Favourite Performing Arts Theatre’ for the sixth year in a row and also won a Platinum Award!

We’re proud to help build a more vibrant, healthy North Vancouver together with our community! Thank you for your continued support of our hard-working teams!”
