The RDNO is seeking nominations from relevant local advocacy groups for the Greater Vernon Trails and Natural Spaces Advisory Committee. 

The committee will provide advice and feedback to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee on matters directly related to Greater Vernon trails and natural spaces. The committee will also work with Electoral Areas and member municipalities with respect to issues on trails and natural spaces in their local communities.

"We are looking for representatives from relevant groups who can bring a community perspective on the development of these areas, experience in identifying related issues, and who will add value to the overall process with their feedback," stated Keith Pinkoski, Parks Manager. "Having a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for our residents while collaborating together to achieve common objectives is the foundation this committee will stand on."

The Greater Vernon Trails and Natural Spaces Advisory Committee will be comprised of a maximum of 20 representatives from advocacy groups around the Greater Vernon area. Group participation is appointed for a four (4) year term with a minimum of two (2) meetings per year.

Nominations will be accepted until June 30, 2018 at the Regional District of North Okanagan office located at 9848 Aberdeen Road in Coldstream, or by emailing [email protected]. Interested parties can email us for more information or to receive an application package.
