The Jewish Community Centre is a vibrant, inclusive and publicly-accessible cultural and recreation centre that serves both the Jewish community and residents of Vancouver. To meet evolving needs as a dynamic community hub the existing facility is being replaced. Phase 1 of the redevelopment features a new 6-storey facility that includes recreation, fitness, and sports; aquatics, therapy pools, and wellness; senior, teen, and children’s centres; a cultural arts performance theatre; a Holocaust education centre; early childhood education and care; food services; administration space; and offices for 20 non-profit organizations. Future phases will include a high school and two residential towers.

The Jewish Community Centre has been a hub for so many families in the Lower Mainland. Revitalizing this facility will help us remember the past, make life more affordable for families today, and ensure the centre continues to be a place of connection and belonging for generations to come.
