About Vernon

Population

Vernon is the largest city in the North Okanagan and serves as the main service and commercial hub for surrounding communities.
The city itself had just over 44,500 residents in the 2021 Census, with recent municipal and statistical estimates putting the 2024–2025 population close to 49,000–50,000 people as growth continues
The broader Greater Vernon area (including nearby Coldstream and surrounding communities) is often cited at around 67,000 residents, reflecting Vernon’s role as a regional centre

Location

Vernon sits at the north end of Okanagan Lake in the North Okanagan Valley, surrounded by rolling grassland hills, forested slopes, and productive agricultural land.

The city is framed by three key lakes Okanagan, Kalamalka, and Swan giving many neighbourhoods direct or panoramic water views and easy access to beaches and boat launches. Vernon is located along Highway 97, roughly 50 km north of Kelowna and about 120 km southeast of Kamloops, making it a natural regional hub with convenient road connections to the rest of the Okanagan and the Trans-Canada corridor.

This setting places Vernon within one of Canada’s most desirable lifestyle regions, balancing small-city amenities with quick access to mountains, lakes, and resort areas like nearby SilverStar Mountain Resort.

Climate

The climate in Vernon features warm, sunny, and relatively dry summers, with daytime highs often in the mid-to-high 20s Celsius and extended stretches of clear weather.

Winters are moderately cold with regular snowfall, but they are milder than in many other Canadian interior cities, creating reliable conditions for skiing and snow sports without the extreme prolonged cold found further north or on the Prairies.

This combination of heat and sunshine in summer and moderate winters supports thriving vineyards, orchards, and farms on the valley benches, as well as year‑round recreation like boating, hiking, biking, golf, and winter activities at SilverStar and local trails.
