The survey is now live! Be sure to share your thoughts on how you want Vernon to grow as we welcome new neighbours into our community.

This morning, our OCP & TP team met with Council to share updates on several important projects. We presented findings from the Housing Needs Report, which highlighted the types of housing we need to invest in for different income levels over the next 5, 10, and 20 years. We also reviewed our Land Inventory, which gave an overview of the land available to meet these housing needs. The Growth Strategy explored different growth scenario options for Vernon and how to align them with the Housing Needs Report and Land Inventory analysis. Here is a link to the Council Report, full video and presentation from this session.

We also provided updates on the Transportation Plan, focusing on how we prioritize roads and connections to improve mobility. Council participated in an interactive activity exploring the elements that make up our streetscape—this same exercise will be available at our Open House, so feel free to stop by and give it a try!

We invite you to join us at the Open House on November 7th at the Vernon Library from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
