The City of Vernon and Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP are thanking the people who donate their time to make the community a better place.
The recognition is part of National Volunteer Week in Canada.
“Volunteers are the backbone of a community,” said Mayor Victor Cumming. “It never ceases to amaze me how many people in our city step up and work tirelessly to make great things happen when there is a need. Whether it’s working at a large sporting or cultural event, serving on a local board, directly assisting those with needs, or helping with a small fundraising campaign, Vernon is full of driven, compassionate, and generous individuals who just want to make a positive difference – and they’re doing it!”
More than 200 volunteers help the city on a regular basis, with approximately 70 serving on council committees and the tourism commission, 70 with emergency support services, and another 70+ volunteers working with the community safety oOffice and RCMP crime prevention unit.
