The City of Vernon will be increasing the rates for renting recreational facilities and parks in the next three years.
Starting in 2026, the rental rates for recreational facilities will be increasing by 2.5 per cent. That increase will also be repeated in 2027 and 2028.
Additionally, the facility enhancement fees will be increasing over those years. Vernon residents renting out the parks and rec facilities will see their enhancement fees go up by two per cent annually, while the fees for non-residents will increase by four per cent.
The current funding structure of having taxation cover 35 per cent of the recreation budget and 81 per cent of the parks funding requirement will be maintained over those years.
