COVID-19 Updates

The District of West Vancouver has developed an operating model to gradually restart services that were closed as a result of the pandemic. The first, and most important deciding factor when considering restarting any service is the safety of residents, businesses and staff. We will continue to keep the community informed of service level adjustments. To receive information by email, subscribe to e-west.

  • Municipal Hall is closed to the public until further notice. District staff continue providing the same essential services by phone and email.
  • A variety of modified programs, camps, group fitness classes, pre-registered fitness centre timeslots and more are available for registration. Drop-ins are not permitted.
  • West Vancouver Memorial Library and West Vancouver Art Museum are now open with reduced hours.
  • Community recreation facilities to re-open on a pilot basis in September.
