We have 2 speciality gaming spaces at Campus & Community Recreation.

Both our gaming spaces are located within the Van Vliet Centre. We host board game and eGame drop-in times, registered programs, group bookings, corporate wellness, camps, and other special events. We also offer an incentive program called "Power Up Perks" for those regular gamers out there.
