Recreation programming and activities are in full swing despite extensive renovations at the Greater Vernon Recreation Centre.

The auditorium, Dogwood Gym, Halina Seniors Centre and the aquatic centre are all open and not affected by the project, despite the outward appearance the centre is surrounded by construction.

“All the regular daily activities are still taking place, and the centre has been busy with summer kids’ camps and swim lessons,” said Doug Ross, director of recreation services.

The project includes a new bridge at the main entrance, improved accessibility to the centre and an expanded lobby.

Additionally, a new outside people space and healthy-choices food kiosk are anticipated to be completed by spring.
