A space for community, culture, and wellness
The Haisla Recreation Centre has been a gathering place for the community since the late Heber Maitland cut the ribbon in 1978. It’s more than just a building. It’s where we come together to share meals, celebrate culture, honour loved ones, and support each other during times of loss. Memorials and funerals are given priority, reflecting the Centre’s role in helping us care for one another.
The Haisla Recreation Centre is also a space for staying active and connected. Dances practices, basketball practices and tournaments are held regularly, and the facility is available to rent. Whether you need the main floor, kitchen, or upstairs area, the Centre continues to be a welcoming space for everyone in the community.
