Recreation

The City sees recreation as an essential component to the overall health and wellness of the community. By providing a wide range of accessible recreational opportunities, the City enhances liveability and the quality of life for its citizens.

To encourage active, healthy lifestyles and to support the recreational pursuits of all residents, the City and District of North Vancouver established a joint recreation commission in 1970. North Vancouver Recreation & Culture (NVRC) Commission is responsible for delivering a diverse range of indoor and outdoor activities suitable for people of all ages, interests and abilities.

NVRC also collaborates with community organizations, businesses and non-profit societies to enhance the quality and range of programs it offers to residents.
