The exclusivity of living in one of Vancouver's most beautiful waterfront buildings is not the only fantastic characteristic Canada House can offer. Just as its sister buildings, Canada House offers a vast number of amenities: easy access to Skytrain and Bus stations, fantastic streets for biking, a community full of events - and an exclusive clubhouse called "Gold Medal Club". In this building, residents have access to:

- Hot Tub
- Sauna
- Steam Room
- Change Rooms
