The Regional District of North Okanagan is still awaiting approval before supporting the enhancement of local cycling trails.

The RDNO Board of Directors provided the North Okanagan Cycling Society with $11,350 in 2024 to rehabilitate and build new trails at Vernon Hill.

The funding was part of a total of $50,000 that was pre-approved, however, the remaining funding was contingent on receiving approval from Recreation Sites and Trails B.C., a branch of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.

As of Wednesday, Jan. 22, the province had not approved the distribution of the remaining $38,650, and an RDNO report said that funding had been allocated to the 2025 budget to be used for the trails when approval is granted.
