Hot water temperatures are lower than normal

We are currently experiencing mechanical issues at the Gibsons and Area Community Centre that are causing hot water temperatures to be lower than normal. The facility remains open, and our staff are actively working to resolve the problem. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Gibsons and Area Community Centre

Located just outside of downtown Gibsons, the Gibsons and Area Community Centre offers a wide range of programming, large rentable rooms and is home to an NHL sized arena. The facility also includes a weight room and courts for squash and racquetball.
