Vernon
Where Sun Meets Soul
Our Story
Vernon, nestled in the stunning Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada, is a gem for travelers seeking a blend of natural beauty and vibrant culture. The area’s rich heritage is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Syilx (Okanagan) people, whose connection to the land is still celebrated today. Officially established in 1892 and named after Forbes George Vernon, this charming city quickly became known for its fertile lands and pleasant climate, making it a thriving agricultural hub. With the arrival of the railway in the early 20th century, Vernon saw an influx of settlers and a boost to its local economy. Nowadays, visitors flock to Vernon for its lively arts scene, breathtaking landscapes, and the warm, welcoming spirit of its community. Surrounded by picturesque lakes, mountains, and valleys, Vernon offers a perfect escape to experience the heart of the Okanagan lifestyle.
Arts & Culture

The city’s thriving artistic community shines through in various forms, from visual to performing arts.
