Vernon sur Seine (Normandy - France)

Vernon North Okanagan, Canada

Vernon is the Okanagan's oldest city, settled in 1867. Vernon is the head city of the North Okanagan region.

The total population of the region is currently estimated at 72,000. No longer an area just for retirees seeking a moderate climate, large numbers of urban professional families have discovered the lifestyle benefits of our friendly smaller communities.

Agriculture continues to play a significant role in our economy. Virtually every type of farming can be found in the North Okanagan. Agri-tourism is evolving as an industry in its own right, as tourists are welcomed to experience the farms, orchards and vineyards firsthand.

Tourism continues to grow as a major contributor to our economy. The opening of Rogers Pass and, more recently, the construction of the Coquihalla Highway fully opened the Okanagan Valley to tourists. Visitors are attracted by the moderate climate, spectacular scenery and unlimited recreational opportunities. World class facilities such as Silver Star Mountain Resort & Predator Ridge Golf Resort draw high profile events, giving our area national and international exposure.
