North Vancouver Recreation & Culture (NVRC) is offering activities in partially re-opened facilities.  Staff have implemented health and safety measures to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 among community members and employees. 

Program & Activity Suspensions

On Monday, March 29, 2021, the Provincial Health Officer updated COVID-19 restrictions for the Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health regions.

In response to the orders, the following NVRC programs and sessions are suspended until further notice, or at least until the date specified in orders.  Please note, this is subject to change.  All program participants will be notified by email and refunds will be provided. 

NVRC programs and activities continuing

There are still many programs and activities continuing to run with appropriate safety protocols and physical distancing in place, including but not limited to:

Mask Requirements

Customers are required to wear a face mask in all common areas in NVRC facilities, including lobbies, hallways and washrooms and some programs and activities. Customers are also encouraged to wear masks during their program or activity. We recognize it’s not feasible to wear a mask in the pool. Read more on our health & safety page.

Updated Fitness Centre Mask Protocol – April 2021

Wearing a mask is now required at all times while exercising indoors by order of the Provincial Health Officer.  This includes while exercising on cardio equipment. In addition, participants are required to keep 3m away from each other when they are moving around in the fitness centre space.  

People who are unable to wear a mask due to a health condition or a physical, cognitive or mental impairment, and people who are unable to put on or remove a mask without the assistance of another person are exempt from mask requirements. People who are unable to wear a mask must maintain at least 3m distance at all times when in the facility.

Visiting an NVRC Recreation Centre

Only customers with registrations for programs or who have booked a visit (e.g. fitness centre sessions, public swim, lane swimming, public skate and pottery studio sessions) are able to enter facilities. 

You can book a visit from 9am on the Monday, one week before the session. When a statutory holiday falls on a Monday, registration for the following week is on Tuesdays. You can do this online or by calling 604-987-7529.

Fitness Centres

All of our fitness centres are open for pre-registered vists.  New safety measures and physical distancing is in place. Read more on our fitness centre page or book a visit online.

New Fitness Centre Session No-Show Procedure

This new procedure has been implemented to maximize the number of spots for all community members to stay active.

Starting March 15, 2021, if you are registered for a fitness centre session and you don’t show up, or don’t cancel your spot at least one hour (60 minutes) before the start time, NVRC will consider this a No Show.

Once you have three no-show visits in a week, your account will be suspended online for one week and you will need to call to make any registrations.  Please note the following procedure:

• If you don’t show up or cancel your spot at least one hour (60 minutes) before the start time of your fitness centre visit, we will email you and note the No Show on your account.
• If, for a second time in the week, you don’t show up or cancel your spot at least one hour (60 minutes) before the start time, we will contact you by email and record the second No Show on your account.
• If, for a third time, you don’t show up or cancel your spot at least one hour (60 minutes) before the start time, we will contact you by email, record the third No Show on your account, and suspend your online account for one week.

During the week that customers do not have access to their online account, all registrations will need to be made by calling our call centre at 604-987-7529.
