Spring Is In The Air Most Days In Vernon!

Happy St Patrick’s Day to all our friends around the province!


Spring is upon us most days here with snow still at higher elevations. The days are amazing with all the benefits of winter but nice spring like weather in the bottom of the valley to enjoy.
All the tourism attractions are starting to buzz such as Davison Orchard and the Historic O’Keefe Ranch really getting ready for the summer season.
Tamra at Davison called us here at Tourism to invite us to the farm for a pre summer sneak peek and maybe a piece of Aunty May’s Apple Pie! We can’t wait to go!
Spring Break is coming to this school district next week and below we have compiled a few of the many special kid’s camps and activities. Silver Star Mountain still has great spring conditions and Outdoor Discoveries is still hosting snow show tours daily also great options for families and young people.
