Mammoths once roamed the Okanagan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Canada has been the site of some of the world’s most famous dinosaur discoveries. Those include the Albertosaurus sarcophagus, which was discovered by Geological Survey of Canada geologist Joseph Tyrrell in Alberta in 1884, near what is now Drumheller. Alberta’s badlands have since become famous for their dinosaur fossils, including some of the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex. Dinosaurs once lived across much of what is now western North America, so why have we never found a dinosaur fossil in the Okan
Vernon flower shop holds rich history as early community church (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Vernon Flower Shop, located at 3003 30th Street, has been family-owned and operated since 1977. Mary and Jake Spoor first opened the shop at 3011 31st Avenue, in a building with a much longer history. Although the building that once housed the Vernon Flower Shop is no longer standing, its history is an interesting part of Vernon’s past that some newer residents may not know. Long before it became a flower shop, the property at 3011 31st Avenue was home to Vernon’s First Baptist Church. In 19
Vernon, BC, shares more than a name with Vernon, France (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you picture Vernon, B.C., you probably do not picture a 14th-century Norman-style house, a watermill built on the remains of a medieval bridge, or a castle inspired by Versailles.

Located along the banks of the Seine River, Vernon, France, lies roughly halfway between Paris and Rouen. Today, the town is perhaps best known for the nearby production of Safr
Day at the beach had moments of hilarity for Vernon residents in 1924 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During emergencies like the Bradley Creek Fire, sometimes it is nice to have something a little lighter to read. Nearly a century ago, Vernon residents also took a break from their everyday routines for an afternoon of sunshine, swimming and some rather unconventional races. In August 1924, Vernon hosted what had by then become an annual picnic at Kalamalka (then called Long) Lake for city employees. The picnic was held at the beautiful property of Hugh Heggie and was, according to the Vernon Ne
Joe Edgar was an actor and electrician (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Joseph Marriott Edgar (1884–1962) was not only believed to be Vernon's first permanent electrician but was also an award-winning actor — a true Renaissance man. Known to friends and family as Joe, he came from an exceptionally talented theatrical family. Both of his parents were actors, while his older brother, George Edgar — better known by his stage name, Marriott Edgar — was a British poet, scriptwriter, and comedian, best known for writing many of the famous monologues performed by Stanley H
