Britannia Information Centre

A beautiful location with a library, a elementary school, youth drop in, and a bunch of other services run by sweet and caring folks.

Nice community Center with lots of amenities. You can use the swimming pool, steam room, hot tubs, sauna, the gym or even their ice rink. You can find the operations hours publicly on their website as they change on a constant basis. The cleanings could be better, but for the price and value, you get a pretty good deal. If you are looking for a budget place with tons of options, check Brittania Community Center.

I had very bad experience with the receptionist in this community centre today, January 21, 2023 at around 10:30am. I asked the young guy if I could use the sauna room. He said the lady changing room was under a repair, and told to wait for a bit, because it wouldn't take too long to fix. After I waited for a while, I saw the guy fixing the lady changing room walked out, and left the facility. Then, lots of ladies walked in to the changing room and he let them in. However, When it came to my turn, he just turned his back on me, and started chatting with another female staff behind the counter. When I asked him again if I could access the lady changing room. He just impatiently and didn't even looked at me, but just replied that the changing room isn't ready to use. Also, he told me a lots of reasons such as a flood happening inside the changing room yesterday, Something just went wrong with him. Why other ladies and children were allowed to use the facility but I wasn't allowed??? I already checked the schedule, and the sauna was open for the public. He is very unprofessional and neglecting for performing his duties. I feel very disappointed and sad. My property tax money should be spent for hiring a person with better qualities, because I worked very hard to make money, don't like to waste it.

The heart of the Commercial Drive community. I love this place so so much and really appreciate how they hold to community values.

Cracked my kneecap at the skatepark. Nobody else's fault but my own. Also Rick McCrank often said hello. Very nice place to be.

Affordable, convenient and accessible. The staff are super polite, friendly and helpful. I feel so welcomed every time coming there.

My first visit to Britannia pool today and was so great. The staff are incredible, polite, friendly, helpful. The lifeguards were super flexible and accommodating the needs of swimmers to allow more space for general swim , adjusting the buoys to give more room. The pool and change rooms were spotless. Will definitely be back on the regular. Thanks so much!!

Great gym. Crowded at times but everyone makes room and shares freely. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Gym is always clean too.

While Parade of Lost Souls which is held at Britannia highschool, has been an anticipated event for me each year, sadly it now pales to what it once was. This year I was alarmed at how hundreds of people were crammed together, shoulder to shoulder, and most were not wearing a medical mask! In those conditions, it does not matter that you are our side...
