Vernon

Few cities in British Columbia have a history as closely tied to cattle ranching as Vernon. In the North Okanagan, it occupies a broad interior valley between Okanagan Lake to the west and Kalamalka Lake to the southeast, where dry conditions helped shape early ranches and farms. Vernon grew as a service centre for this agricultural country, and the preserved O’Keefe Ranch recalls the region’s nineteenth-century settlement era. The city stands on the traditional territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) people, while orchards and vineyards remain part of its surroundings.
