The new centre will increase access for users from the external community, enhance student access to intramural recreation programs, provide competitive training and performance space for athletes and provide additional programming space for a variety of stakeholders.

Vikes Recreation at UVic offers a number of community programming opportunities and facility rental access to numerous local groups. Vikes summer camps and year-round sport programs provide additional community access. Programs include formal and informal recreation opportunities, dance, aquatics, yoga, martial arts and fitness programs as well as a full complement of competitive intramural leagues for UVic students.

CARSA will provide the opportunity for everyone to experience the joy of physical activity and to be inspired to achieve their best.
