Local politicians have decided to keep RDNO trails and natural spaces open in Greater Vernon during the pandemic, but with some advice.
The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee discussed the accessibility of recreation facilities, like the Okanagan Rail Trail, at its meeting Wednesday, and while agreeing to keep them open, they’re also encouraging residents to enjoy the parks and trails in their own neighborhoods, or the ones that are less popular.
“The best choice is for residents to walk, run or cycle in their own neighbourhoods,” said Akbal Mund, chair of GVAC. “We have a large network of trails in the Greater Vernon area. Instead of visiting the busiest trails, like the Okanagan Rail Trail, we encourage you to discover something new, and that is preferably in your neighbourhood.”
The Greater Vernon Athletic Park was closed earlier, but there are concerns large groups of people have still been gathering at the facility next to Okanagan College.
