Another fantastic Van Island Rec Centre– they’ve really done it right over here. Huge gym with no time limits preset into cardio machines and signup sheets used only if there is a line; really common sense for those of us who perform long stretches of cardio training. Nice salt water pool, hot tub and sauna. friendly staff, clean, lots of well attended community classes, café for treats after, and it’s affordable. I learned here that they have a pass where you’re able to use all the city rec centres with one card, similar to Vancouver Parks Board’s FlexiPass.

When we moved to Victoria we passed by the JDFC and I thought it was just a library — wow was I wrong. The library is next to it, but as a family we are there every week doing something from swimming to skating to working out in the gym. We have a family pass and pay monthly, but you can walk in and use the facilities on a per per go basis as well. They have all sorts of classes, a playground in the back, three pools, sauna, steam, water slide and if you are hungry after that a healthy snack bar — no fried garbage — a bit expensive but not overly so. Just don’t get lost in the bamboo«forest» next to the library… but that’s another story…
