Incorporated in 1892, it is the oldest city in the Okanagan Valley and offers a range of economic activities, including services, agriculture, and tourism. Residents and visitors enjoy outdoor recreation, a rich cultural scene, and the region’s mild climate.
Venue
Vernon City Hall’s Council Chambers is not available as a public venue for private events, as its primary purpose is for official city council meetings and public hearings. These meetings are open to the public, who can attend in person or watch online.
