The Vancouver Canucks are gearing up for Game 5 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series tonight against the Nashville Predators, and local supporters are too.

Fans now have another choice of where to watch the big game, as the City of Burnaby is hosting free Canucks viewing parties at the new Rosemary Brown Recreation Centre tonight.

Burnaby is the third municipality to host playoff watch events, with Delta and Port Coquitlam also hosting community events.

The family-friendly screening will be held on the second floor of the $54 million facility in the Edmonds neighbourhood of South Burnaby.

Fans can watch the Canucks on the large format screens and also purchase snacks and non-alcoholic beverages at the cafe. The City of Burnaby also encourages people to take public transport or carpool, as parking is limited at the facility.

The much-anticipated Rosemary Brown Recreation Centre recently opened its doors to the public last month, marking a significant milestone for the City of Burnaby’s network of community and recreation centre facilities.

The 92,000 sq ft building, which is enclosed under a mass-timber roof, features two NHL-sized ice rinks. Each rink at the rec centre has about 200 seats.

Time: 7 pm (Game 5)
Where: Rosemary Brown Recreation Centre — 7789 18th Street, Burnaby
