Vernon, BC was an incredible destination a decade ago. The only street issues were pretty much people passing through, the only "society" was the John Howard, where the parolees are mainly white collar or individuals that do NOT want to end up back in prison. Far enough AWAY from Kelowna (big city issues), but like all places, it's suffering some big changes. Some forums (I was planning five years ago to basically retire there) are now FULL of comments on sketchy people walking right onto their property in broad daylight, riffeling through "stuff" to see what they can sell for "kash" or trade with their dealer. What happened?? My GUESS is find out if there's a "program" attracting the nutbars like Kamloops or Kelowna. There's so much outdoors to do, and do inexpensively. you can WALK across the town in minutes, festivals are RUN byi Vernonites but take place in Armstrong and Lumby (grants, Fed. money, native money). Historic farms, a ski destination, water, hiking, Coldstreams organic orchards, Armstrong Fair, Cherryville, low cost camping in the parks, usually spots available. My friend recently passed ran a TRAP LINE up Sugar Lake: she planted a snowmobile in a TREE and it's still there!!! in the Monashees yhou're pretty much GUARANTEED a moose! Lots of stuff close by for kids to do and enjoy safely.

Con: Air Quality Index >4 due to annual wildfire smoke in July/Aug
@@kriko007 fair enough but this summer was smoke free!
@@LIVINGINKELOWNABRITISHCOLUMBIA Yes, but historically: Years 2003, 2010 and 2017-2023 were all very bad years with dangerously unhealthy air quality.
