The City of Delta says several civic services will close for BC Day on Monday, Aug. 3, 2026, while some recreation and culture facilities remain available.
The key split: administrative offices, the animal shelter, and two seniors centres are closed. The Douglas J. Husband Discovery Centre is listed for noon to 5 p.m., and North Delta Recreation Centre is listed for regular hours.
What is closed
Delta lists these civic closures for BC Day:
- City Hall: Closed
- Municipal Services Office: Closed
- Delta Community Animal Shelter: Closed
- McKee Seniors Recreation Centre: Closed, with a longer maintenance note. Delta's BC Day notice says McKee is closed from Aug. 3 to 10 for annual maintenance. The McKee facility page says annual maintenance runs from Aug. 3 to 9.
- Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre: Closed
What stays open or changes hours
The City of Delta notice lists these service-hour notes for residents planning a holiday visit:
- Douglas J. Husband Discovery Centre: Open from noon to 5 p.m.
- North Delta Recreation Centre: Regular operating hours
- Other Parks, Recreation & Culture recreation facilities: Regular operating hours, except the named closures above
Animal-shelter emergencies
Delta says the community animal shelter is closed for the holiday, but it gives a specific emergency instruction.
For animal emergencies, the city says residents should call 604-940-7111 and press 1.
What to do
Move administrative, animal-shelter, or Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre errands to another business day. For McKee, do not assume the next business day is available; check the city notice and McKee facility page because Delta's pages list different maintenance end dates.
For recreation visits, start with the city notice and confirm the specific facility if the trip depends on a class, booking, or exact arrival time.
If an animal issue is urgent, use the shelter emergency phone instruction instead of waiting for the counter to reopen.
