Greater Vernon politicians continue their quest for common ground on parks. Representatives from Vernon, Coldstream and the
electoral areas will meet Tuesday and Thursday to try and hammer out a
new model for the parks and recreation function. “We’ve overcome an important decision,” said
Trafford Hall, Regional District of North Okanagan administrator, of all
parties agreeing to a model where some parks would be run by individual
jurisdictions. “There’s a lot of work to do but the process is moving forward.” Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, is confident that months of dispute can be addressed. “Everyone is in agreement with the model,” he said. “We just need to determine what’s sub-regional and what’s neighbourhood (parks).” After an agreement on parks, the jurisdictions
will then consider governance of the function and how facilities will be
operated. “I think we can get this wrapped up shortly,” said Macnabb.
