Open house for Vernon’s infrastructure projects

Feb 27, 2026 | 6:00 AM

People interested about road, sewer, recreation, and other infrastructure projects will be able to learn more about what’s going on in Vernon.

The city will host its Infrastructure Open House March 2.

“The City of Vernon is investing over $25 million into infrastructure projects this year, continuing to pave the way for a sustainable and vibrant future for the community,” the city stated in a release. “From major road upgrades and safer active transportation routes to new playgrounds, recreation facility improvements, and enhanced memorial spaces, Vernon’s 2026 infrastructure program is focused on building a stronger, more connected community.”

Those projects include the 43rd Ave. corridor improvement, the Kalamalka Lake Road reconstruction and multi-use pathway, park renewals, ice rink upgrades at Kal Tire Place, and a new columbarium being developed for the cemetery.

People attending the open house will be able to speak with city staff and project teams to review the work and their timelines and costs, learn how it will impact neighbourhoods, and share their questions, feedback and ideas.
