Vernon Mayor encourages public participation in the city’s long-term plans

The City of Vernon is hosting public engagement sessions for the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Transportation Plan (TP), and the Mayor encourages people to get involved.

The city opened an online portal Monday, May 26, for the public to provide feedback on the plans, which involves land use and transportation with the goal of creating a vibrant and accessible community that is prepared for the future.

Along with the online survey, and a physical one that people can pick up at City Hall until June 30, the city will host an open house from 2 to 6 p.m. June 5, and from 9 a.m to 12 p.m. June 7, at the Civic Memorial Park Community Classroom.

Mayor Victor Cumming encouraged people participate in the process, saying feedback could help guide the plans and help shape the future of people’s neighbourhoods and the city as a whole.
