Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre Plan

The vision for the Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre is guided by the community’s interest in access to the lake and the creation of a vibrant, year round neighbourhood centre to serve both Vernon residents and visitors. The Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre is intended to be a place which:

  • Caters to residents and visitors through a mix of compatible land uses that provide opportunities for living, commerce, community services, recreation and tourism;
  • Provides a variety of housing opportunities;
  • Is characterized by pedestrian-oriented shopping streets;
  • Provides public access to Vernon’s lakeshore;
  • Provides opportunities for public interaction in a variety of locations, including parks, streets and businesses;
  • Enables residents and visitors to walk, bicycle and take transit to their destinations;
  • Is a safe place for children to walk or ride bicycles to and from school;
  • Maintains the quality of the water in Okanagan Lake by enhancing local wetlands and Vernon Creek;
  • Preserves sensitive habitat for threatened species; and
  • Is integrated with surrounding neighbourhoods
