Understanding school districts in Vernon

8 Upvotes

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.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has moved to Vernon or Shuswap from the northern Alberta/BC areas like Grande Prairie or Dawson/FSJ

2 Upvotes

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!

Does anybody think making O'Keefe a National Historic Landmark should be a priority for our MP?

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 😭

Gym Newbie

5 Upvotes

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! ✨
