Open to the public by appointment only. Any issues that can be dealt with over the phone or email will be done in that manner. Call 250.242.4242 or email info@dtr.ca. The doors to the building will be locked. Anyone wanting to enter will need to have an appointment.
Fire Department & Bylaw Enforcement
The Fire Department building is closed to the public. Phone calls will be answered during regular business hours, including for any Bylaw Enforcement matters. No inspections are being done at this time. If you have an emergency please call 911. If you don’t have an emergency, call: (250) 242-3939
Community Centre
The Community Centre is closed to the public, phone calls will be answered during regular business hours. Appointments are available 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. upon request if you need access to storage (weight room lockers, hockey lockers, storage lockers, etc.) Note: if you have a gym pass, pool pass, etc, your pass will be put on hold while the facilities are closed, and restarted when they open. So if you have six months left on your gym pass at the start of the shut down, you will have six months left when the facilities re-open, even if they are closed for six months. (Note, this is just an example, and I’m not saying they will be closed for that long.)
A reminder the District is also prohibiting anyone from entering any District facility if they have returned from international travels within the last two weeks. Should this apply to you and you require District assistance please call 250-242-4242 or email info@dtr.ca.

“Due to the recent decision by town council to close their fitness facility and from talking to many colleagues in the fitness industry we have decided to follow their lead and close Blue Collar Boxing to regular classes this week.
