Vernon
Vernon (population: 35,944) lies in the northern end of the Okanagan Valley, by Okanagan, Kalamalka and Swan Lakes. A four-season vacation destination, it's surrounded by orchards, golf courses and mountains, whose upper reaches are blanketed in deep, fluffy powder in winter.

Vernon was incorporated in 1892 and is an old city by Okanagan Valley standards. Its older residential streets are lined with graceful heritage homes and leafy, mature trees. Vernon is best known for the many heritage-themed murals on its downtown buildings, its rich agricultural heritage, laid-back lake culture and winter carnival.
