    Vital Vernon Questions: For information and answers from  each candidate (on key local economic, social, health, culture, environment issues), check out the non-partisan website: https://www.vitalvernon.com/ which the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan (CFNO) has created using ideas from local experts. All candidates were asked to respond to a series of pertinent questions on this site. By September 23 the CFNO will have uploaded all candidate responses to  https://www.vitalvernon.com/

    Vital Vernon is a research booklet put out by the CFNO every 2 years that rates how we, locally, are doing in 5 different areas: economic, health, social, cultural, and environmental. All candidates were asked to provide their thoughts on questions from these 5 areas.
