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.

Roof Replacement Project is underway.
This work is expected to take five to six weeks to complete. The Gibsons Community Centre will remain open while this work is done and patrons will be able to attend programs as usual. People inside the facility may hear loud noises while the roof is replaced. The upper parking log will be unaffected.  

Patrons using the arena will be able to access the lower parking lot and sliding doors but should keep in mind that some sections of the lower parking lot will be blocked off and closed to ensure safety and allow space for construction equipment.
