Official Community Plan & Transportation Plan Update

About the survey

The City is updating its Official Community Plan (OCP) and Transportation Plan (TP), and we would like to hear from you again!   Phase one and two of engagement have been completed - thank you to everyone who participated. You can find a summary of what was learned from the engagement process in phase one here and in phase two here.  

During this third phase of engagement, you will be looking more closely at how Vernon’s two urban centres – Downtown and Village Green – and its three Village Centres – Alexis Park, Okanagan Landing and Jubilee Hill – could look in the future. The survey is an opportunity for the community to provide feedback on the draft vision for these five areas. There will also be opportunity to review the Transportation Plan projects that are proposed and provide feedback on those.

The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete.

At the end of the survey, you will have the opportunity to be entered into the draw for a $150 DVA (Downtown Vernon Association) Dollars Gift Card. For a list of the businesses that accept DVA Dollars, please visit https://www.downtownvernon.com/downtown-dollars/
