Full company description
Welcome to the City of Vernon, B.C. The City of Vernon was incorporated on December 30, 1892. The City of Vernon has a population of approximately 40,000 (2013), while its metropolitan region, Greater Vernon, has a population of 58,584 as of the Statistics Canada 2011 Census. With this population, Vernon is the largest city in the North Okanagan Regional District. Heritage buildings, structures, sites and streetscapes are those physical elements of the past which reflect each community's historic evolution and unique identity. Vernon, as the oldest incorporated city in the Okanagan Valley, has a rich inventory of heritage resources. For more than a century, Vernon has welcomed people from all parts of the world who were attracted by its character and physical beauty together with its economic and cultural diversity. Today Vernon continues to grow while maintaining for both newcomer and old-timer alike the connections with the past that lend a sense of stability and continuity to the community. With cycling and hiking trails expanding every year, a growing transit system (providing direct access to UBCO), and a new public library and secondary school under construction, Vernon is the ideal location to raise your family, start a business or retire. The Okanagan Valley has one of the most enviable climates in Canada. This makes Vernon and the Okanagan Valley a popular choice among visitors, immigrants and other Canadians who are relocating or retiring. Although Vernon enjoys a four seasons climate, it is not unusual to see golfers on the courses in the spring while skiers enjoy the deep powder of nearby mountains.
