Key Dates for Recreation

BC Hydro and the Town of Gibsons will be installing pay-per-use electric vehicle (EV) chargers in the Gibsons Community Centre parking lot on the north side, adjacent to Brothers Park field in the last half of February and into March. The work is expected to take five weeks to complete. 

New replacement fitness equipment will be installed at Gibsons Community Centre, Sechelt Aquatic Centre and Pender Harbour Aquatic & Fitness Centre. This new equipment will replace older equipment which has reached the end of its life.

The weight rooms will remain open while technicians install the new fitness equipment . Expect it to be busier and a bit more crowded than usual.

Thursday February 27

SCRD staff will be conducting a fire alarm bell test on Tuesday, February 25 from 12:15 pm to 12:45 pm. The alarm bells will be activated and the alarm bells will ring for half an hour. Normally the alarm bells signal either an evacuation drill or real-life evacuation event. During this specific time, evacuation of the building is not required. 

SCRD staff perform tests on the alarm bells to ensure that they are working properly and are ready in case an emergency event occurs in the future. 

It’s going to be loud! The alarm bells will ring continuously for half an hour. If you are bothered by loud noises, please plan your visit accordingly and avoid coming February 27 between 10:30 am and 11:00 am. Thank you for your understanding.
