Regional Diversity

Located at the north end of the Okanagan Valley near both Okanagan Lake and Kalamalka Lake, our region’s climate celebrates all four wonderful seasons with summer water sports, fall harvests, winter snow sports and spring blossoms. Twelve percent of our students are of Aboriginal descent.  The population of Vernon, although experiencing some declines in school age enrolment, is very stable and vibrant.
