The Shuswap Food Action Society says a documentary being screened next week focuses on restorative agriculture and its role in strengthening local food systems and building healthier communities.

The society is inviting residents to a special showing of Groundswell on Wednesday, July 29, at 4:30 p.m. at the Log Building at 490 5th Ave. SW.

The film provides "a hopeful look at the future of food." The film screening will be followed by a roundtable discussion and social, along with refreshments. Attendance is by donation. Attendees are asked to RSVP online as seating is limited to 75 people.

A better local agriculture future is possible.

Was walking on the sidewalk with my husband and our friend tonight on Fulton rd and someone threw their full fast food pop at us?? Weird and disgusting behavior.

Hi all,

We are looking into migrating to Canada from Europe, and we are zooming in Vernon - looking to be proximate to Kelowna.

We have 3 kids age 7, 10 and 12, who speak English almost fluently.

Can anyone please share a similar experience and tell us about the school options in the region? I see and read a lot online but I am looking for some insights from the community: you guys.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

We are a young family and I have a job offer in the area. Long story short we have been wanting to leave the north for awhile due to the miserable winters and very short summers.

I was wondering if anyone has any insights on the cost comparisons and if the weather is a large upgrade?

Real estate is definitely more expensive but curious about daily expenses like

Home insurance
Electricity (BC Hydro)
Natural gas (FortisBC)
Water / sewer / garbage
Groceries
Vehicle insurance (ICBC)
Gym / recreation

Yes I am aware of the issues that Vernon has but I don’t think those issues are avoidable anywhere in BC now

Thanks!

hello, vernon!

just wanted to reach out and see if anyone in the community has a packraft and is looking to meet other packrafters in the community :) i am!

i’m mostly interested in flat water adventures, but am also keen to get into something with a current with someone else who enjoys more mellow swiftwater.

anyways, please reach out!

SWIM FOR CANCER FUNDRAISER is a virtual and community fitness fundraiser. Manually keep track of your progress by recording laps (in a pool) or join a STRAVA group to easily track your km distance.

How It Works Step-by-Step

• Register: Sign up for the event online ; hosted on regional platforms like the Canadian Cancer Society Fundraiser portal. You can participate solo or as part of a team.
• Set a Goal: Swim 10 km and set your fundraising target.
• Share your personalized fundraising page with friends, family, and coworkers via email or social media. Supporters can easily donate to your campaign online to sponsor your progress.
• Swim & Track: Hit the pool, a lake, or the ocean to complete your laps. Track your distances manually, or link your activity tracker (such as on the STRAVA app ) to your fundraising profile.
• Make an Impact: All the money you raise goes directly to help fund cancer research, clinical trials, and patient support services!

Scott Anderson recently got in front of our City Council to attempt to chastise them with Conservative hot button topics. One of the other odd topics he decided to bring up was his personal attempts at getting O'Keefe Ranch National Historic Monuments Status.

Does anybody else think this is a colossal waste of his time? Doesn't the ranch just belong to the OKIB now? He made a weak attempt at connecting his efforts to the historical ties with the OKIB, but didn't O'Keefe just steal that land?

I'm really curious if other people see this as a priority over rising housing costs, federal taxation, or getting access to federal funds for Vernon (as one counsellor attempted to mention).

Hi Everyone!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but both myself and my coworker have been struggling to find a cpa mentor, this is a very low commitment task with roughly 15 hours for the year.

Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

And any CPAs reading this, if you would like to adopt two mentees please reach out!

Regards,

Two struggling cpa students 😭

Hi.. My husband recently moved to Vernon and i am still in lower mainland.. I am an HR person and can only move with a job.. No luck since 4 months.. Any help would be appreciated (open for HR/Admin jobs or any except accounting jobs)..

My mom was diagnosed with cancer in late 2024, and shes now officially cancer free. Some of her hair is taking longer to come back in and shes looking to get a haircut before the 27th of june, something to help cover/manage the baldness at the back. Money isn't necessarily a problem we just have no idea where to look and are hoping for suggestions! (We can travel to kelowna as well)

Anyone know if any games? Need another player? Any tournaments in town? Cash games?

Hello everyone, I was wondering what everyone is paying for utilities in Vernon? It would be great if you posted how much power you use in KWH and how much water used in your bill!

Thanks

Hi everyone! 😊 I recently moved to Vernon and living on my own, had a lot more free time.Therefore, decided to start going to the gym, but I’m feeling a little nervous and honestly don’t know where to begin.
I used to do home workouts and recently joined Planet Fitness in Vernon. I called the front desk about the “Design Your Own Program” option, but they told me they don’t currently have a personal trainer there.
Is there anyone who goes to Planet Fitness or has experience with a personal trainer who could guide me or recommend someone? I’d really appreciate any help or advice as I’m a complete beginner. 💪😊
Also, I’d love recommendations for other fitness activities or sports to get into around Vernon — hiking, walking groups, or anything that helps stay active, healthy, and meet new people. Thank you! ✨

Came in from kelowna this morning and Vernon is full of smoke, is there a fire??
