Great place for barbell training. They have six cages and two deadlift racks. The pool, hot tub, steam room, and sauna are great for winding down, and the facilities are kept clean.

Love coming here when it’s not too busy. Going to the gym early in the morning before it gets super busy. Same with the pool. It is very clean place considering the amount of the people that go through the facilities in a day. The receptionists are very helpful and nice. Especially Gillian! Greeting everyone and very helpful. Lately I’m training my 5 years old daughter how to swim. The lifeguards are very helpful with finding the right equipment to make it more interesting for my daughter. Olivia is super nice and helpful. Gives sometimes tips that actually improves my daughter’s skills. I’m not a professional swimmer. This community centre let most people feel like home! Thanks guys for serving the community. Happy holidays

I take Yoga classes every Monday and Wednesday at 5:30pm. The car parks are very full and have to be there 30mins earlier to get a lot. The instructor is very experienced and nice. The room is spacious and clean.

Following my son’s swim lesson, I observed that a child who appeared to be five or six years old and was in the same class as my son was left unattended without a parent or guardian present. I promptly informed the coach, who then notified a female lifeguard appearing to be in charge. Both staff members spoke briefly with the child before leaving the area. Upon further observation, the child remained alone, prompting me to raise the issue again. The lifeguard acknowledged she was aware and had already spoken to the child. I also requested that the child be provided with a towel. During this time, I noticed staff sitting in a small office chatting rather than actively supervising the children. Additionally, the lifeguard’s attitude when addressing these concerns was dismissive and unprofessional. Leaving a young child unsupervised at a public pool after lessons is unacceptable. It is imperative that staff ensure all children are adequately supervised and securely handed over to a responsible adult.

I advise other parents to remain vigilant and cautious around certain lifeguards to ensure their children’s safety is not compromised.

I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks to Shakila for the Summer Camp Kids Club classes for children aged two to three. The materials and toys they provided were fantastic. Both instructors, Lilia and Shakila, were amazing, but I especially want to thank Shakila. Since my child speaks Farsi, Shakila was a huge help in making her feel comfortable. My child understands Persian better, Sakila has to translate everything from English to Persian for her. This has been a very unique and beneficial situation for us. At first, my child was hesitant to be away from me, but thanks to Shakila’s support, now she happily say “Shakila, Shakila” at home and is excited to go to the community center every day. The summer camp program for the Kids Club was also fantastic. I would like to list my child improvements:

1. Since my child started attending the class, her social interactions have improved. Previously, if another child approached her, she would think they wanted to take her belongings and would cry, but now she not only remains calm, but also tries to interact and play with other kids.
2. Her fine motor skills have improved; she can now hold scissors
3. She now sits and participates in group activities, which she didn’t do before.
4. When something upsets her, she can now control her emotions and doesn’t scream.
5. She can wash her hands independently.
Thank you Shakila!

I visited Blends Coffee Delbrook today and was disappointed with the experience. When I went to add cream to my coffee, the container was completely empty and no one refilled it.

Later, my one-year-old daughter was crying, and I realized I had forgotten her milk. I gave her no more than a few drops (truly less than a teaspoon) from the milk provided for coffees, just to settle her. The owner immediately approached me and told me I was not allowed to do that. I explained the situation and offered to pay for the milk right away, but the response lacked empathy and understanding.

As a parent, this was an upsetting experience. I believe a coffee shop should not only serve drinks, but also create a welcoming and compassionate atmosphere for its customers. Unfortunately, that was not the case today

My child goes to summer camp there. Teacher Shakila is such a lovely teacher. We feel always welcomed and my son enjoys the time he spends there each day.
Really appreciate the teachers and their team.

This place feels like a high class country club, it’s just been redone within the past few years too! There’s amazing sculpture work outside, EV charge stations in the parking lot, a sauna, steam room, hot tub, basketball court, dance studio, HUGE workout room, a huge pool with laps and very clear schedule times for lessons listed everywhere, more than enough showers for everyone, what else am I missing? All of the staff are super kind, and there’s so many life guards - for me it’s a great sign when a facility staffs so many people, that means they truly care about the members! And the life guards go out of their way to clean stuff too which isn’t even their job.
