The City of Vernon confirmed it’s working with groups that would be impacted by the Vernon Creek Naturalization project at Polson Park.
At the regular meeting Monday, March 10, city council learned that the construction contract for phase 2 of the project was being finalized, with work at the creek to go July though September, as permitted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, though there could be some tree and vegetation removal starting as early as March.
While the work is underway, there will be a need to install temporary fencing around the site, which includes blocking off the a portion of the road through the park.
Those measures would impact events held at the park, and city staff, along with the mayor, said Vernon would work with organizers to move those events and celebrations to other locations.
