Project objective: ‘To find an indoor facility mix that meets the current and future needs of a growing community and has the opportunity to attract new residents and visitors to the Greater Vernon area.’
The 2018 Recreation Master Plan indicated the need for facility development and specifically the need for the following facilities as the highest priority:
- Aquatic Centre (a NEW pool to increase aquatic use capacity, upgrade existing pool features)
- Gymnasium(s)
- Dedicated Program Spaces
- Fitness Space
- Indoor Walking / Running Track
Based on community input, the Feasibility Study has outlined a Preferred Design Option for the development of a new Active Living Centre and is determining associated costs to build and operate.
