New sncəcmałqtn Agricultural Park offers farming opportunities, recreation
The Regional District of North Okanagan has added its new sncəcmałqtn Agricultural Park to the Electoral Areas B and C parks service.
The 5.5 hectare sncəcmałqtn Agricultural Park, located at the site of the former BX Ranchlands at 4122 East Vernon Road, is intended to be a community resource for agriculture, recreation and habitat conservation.
“The establishment of this Agricultural Park marks a significant achievement for our region which will help foster sustainable agricultural practices and support local farmers while preserving a beautiful, ecologically diverse property with a rich history,” Bob Fleming, director of RDNO Electoral Area B, said.
“It will serve as a hub for education, innovation, and collaboration – ensuring that agriculture remains a vibrant and essential part of our regional identity both now and for the future.”
