Vernon’s municipal buildings to close for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral

In recognition of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral and the national one-time holiday, the City of Vernon will close its municipal buildings on Monday, Sept. 19.

Some recreation facilities and programming will continue as previously scheduled, and recreation services staff will contact users to provide updates on the services and programs available.

The municipal buildings, including city hall, will reopen for regular business hours on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
