Vernon Draws Line On Access Passes

The City of Vernon is looking to tighten up costs tied to the affordable access pass program.

Mayor Akbal Mund says as of January 1 2019, the recreation program will only be available to citizens of participating communities, which include Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C.

He says Lumby, Armstrong and Spallumcheen have decided not to take part.

“It doesn’t mean the passes are not accessible. You can buy your own pass, but you will no longer be on the program that Vernon offers,” Mund tells Beach Radio News.
