Welcome to the City of Vernon's City Centre Neighbourhood Plan Website.
The City has begun the process to create a plan for the future of the City Centre neighbourhood. This site is devoted to providing current information on the project and process, including upcoming meetings, the results of previous meetings and background information and maps. The site also provides information on the many opportunities to become involved in this important and exciting project. Please be sure to check back frequently to keep up to date on the latest status of the plan.How can I be Involved?
A critical factor in the success of the plan is a meaningful process designed to gather as much input from the public as possible on their vision for the evolution of the City Centre. We will be conducting a number of public engagement activities throughout the process to allow opportunities for participation in the creation of the vision and in the development of implementation strategies.We want to know what you think
Please click here to answer the City Centre Questionnaire.
Please respond to the questionnaire by December 4th. All responses will be entered for a draw to win 1 of 5 $100 Downtown Dollars gift certificates (limit one per entrant.)We have a number of events scheduled for the end of November. The purpose of the first round of consultation is to identify issues and opportunities within the City Centre and to develop a vision for the future of the neighbourhood. All scheduled events will be an open house format allowing participants to come and go according to their schedule. Feel free to drop in at any time and stay for as long as you like. City Staff will be on hand to guide you through the displays and to answer any questions.
