Let's Work Together to Make Vernon Better
Our community is stronger when we work together! Joining a committee is an excellent way to contribute to the improvement and celebration of our neighborhood. The committees we're forming are based on the results of our recent community survey, which highlighted the top three things people love about Vernon and the top five concerns.
The committees that will be formed based on the top Vernon aspects they love are:
Alberta Park
Walkability and Bikeability
Alberta Business District
The committees that will be formed based on the top concerns in Vernon are:
Crime
Traffic and Street Racing
Street Trees
Trash / Litter
Gentrification
While not everyone needs to be on the board, it's crucial to have at least one person from each committee represented on the board. This ensures that the voices and perspectives of each committee are heard and integrated into our community's decision-making process.
Each committee will form their own expectations, meeting cadence, goals, values, with support and facilitation by a board member. We want you to feel empowered to participate in ways that feel good to you and help you feel like you're making a difference, because you are!
Are you not particularly interested in joining a committee but still want to get involved in other ways? Well, you're in luck! You can become a general board member or volunteer your specific skills to support our community initiatives. Your unique talents can make a significant difference, so consider signing up today!
