The fire started on the exterior of a cabin structure on 31st Avenue, in a park space adjacent to Lower BX Creek, across the street from the Schubert Centre.

Seniors in the community are invited to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and a one-on-one conversation with a uniformed police officer from the local detachment.

The Vernon seniors' centre is facing significant challenges that are threatening to close the facility.

The Schubert Centre in Vernon is well known for providing programming for local seniors. However, they also serve lunch at a coffee shop, prepare food for Meals-on-Wheels and offer catering services. The money from those catering jobs helps to pay for other services the Schubert Centre provides. Rising food prices have begun to eat away the program funds. They are not raising catering prices for now but if food costs continue to rise, they may have to.
