SEPTEMBER - DECEMBER 2026

It’s a big year—West Shore Parks & Rec is celebrating 60 years of community recreation on the Westshore! In 1966, the original Juan de Fuca Parks and Recreation Commission was formed, leading to the lease of DND land where the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre now sits. This year also marks 25 years since the new pool and weightroom opened. As we celebrate these milestones, we’re taking a deep dive into where we’ve been while looking ahead to what’s next.

A look through the decades of recreation

1980s The 80s were all about energy, colour and community. Aerobics classes, roller rinks, lively swim lessons and bright, upbeat spaces made recreation centres the heart of local connection. This guide season celebrates how recreation helped shape a lasting sense of belonging.

GUIDE SEASON

January - April

SEPTEMBER - December 2026

1990s

2000s

In the 90s, recreation grew with our communities. Team sports thrived, family programs expanded and after‑school activities kept centres buzzing with play and participation. It was a decade defined by showing up, trying new things and enjoying the simple joy of moving together. GUIDE SEASON

May - August

The 2000s brought a wave of innovation, blending technology with community. Online registration, new fitness trends and flexible program formats made recreation more accessible than ever. Technology enhanced in‑person experiences, changing how we connect and stay active. GUIDE SEASON

Aqua Yoga
