Gordon Head temporary weight room closure

Updated February 19, 2026.

The Gordon Head weight room remains closed while a structural roof replacement is completed.

The project has been progressing through the winter, and crews remain dedicated to completing the expanded scope of work as efficiently as possible. Replacement of the weight room roof is advancing, and interior reconstruction and finishing work is moving along. The District is anticipating a late April reopening and will provide an update in March once critical milestones are reached. 

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and understand the importance of this popular program space. We are grateful for our patrons continued patience throughout this complet project and look forward to welcoming you back to the fresh, updated space in the spring!

Patrons are encouraged to visit Saanich’s three other well-equipped weight rooms during the closure.
