Who are we?

McGill Recreation

Open to McGill students, staff, alumni and the Montreal community, McGill Recreation strives to offer wellness-centred programming in a welcoming environment.

The McGill Sports Complex—which includes Forbes Field, McGill B2 Gym, Memorial Pool, Molson Stadium, Tomlinson Fieldhouse, Love Competition Hall and the McConnell Arena (closed for renovations until 2025)—is located on the upper part of McGill Campus at 475 Pine Avenue West. 

With over 17,000 visits each week, the Complex is one of the busiest facilities on the McGill Campus and offers year-round recreational programming and activities to its members.

Our Mission

To create positive experiences that result in a healthy, active, connected community that thrives in a learning environment.

Our Vision

To build a community of ambassadors who live, practice and share the benefits of sport, fitness and an active lifestyle.

It's not about what you do. It's about what you choose to do.
We live to move.
