Does anybody think making O'Keefe a National Historic Landmark should be a priority for our MP?

Scott Anderson recently got in front of our City Council to attempt to chastise them with Conservative hot button topics. One of the other odd topics he decided to bring up was his personal attempts at getting O'Keefe Ranch National Historic Monuments Status.

Does anybody else think this is a colossal waste of his time? Doesn't the ranch just belong to the OKIB now? He made a weak attempt at connecting his efforts to the historical ties with the OKIB, but didn't O'Keefe just steal that land?

I'm really curious if other people see this as a priority over rising housing costs, federal taxation, or getting access to federal funds for Vernon (as one counsellor attempted to mention).

CPA Mentor

4 Upvotes

Hi Everyone!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but both myself and my coworker have been struggling to find a cpa mentor, this is a very low commitment task with roughly 15 hours for the year.

Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

And any CPAs reading this, if you would like to adopt two mentees please reach out!

Regards,

Two struggling cpa students 😭

My mom was diagnosed with cancer in late 2024, and shes now officially cancer free. Some of her hair is taking longer to come back in and shes looking to get a haircut before the 27th of june, something to help cover/manage the baldness at the back. Money isn't necessarily a problem we just have no idea where to look and are hoping for suggestions! (We can travel to kelowna as well)

Gym Newbie

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊 I recently moved to Vernon and living on my own, had a lot more free time.Therefore, decided to start going to the gym, but I’m feeling a little nervous and honestly don’t know where to begin.
I used to do home workouts and recently joined Planet Fitness in Vernon. I called the front desk about the ā€œDesign Your Own Programā€ option, but they told me they don’t currently have a personal trainer there.
Is there anyone who goes to Planet Fitness or has experience with a personal trainer who could guide me or recommend someone? I’d really appreciate any help or advice as I’m a complete beginner. šŸ’ŖšŸ˜Š
Also, I’d love recommendations for other fitness activities or sports to get into around Vernon — hiking, walking groups, or anything that helps stay active, healthy, and meet new people. Thank you! ✨

If anyone in the foothills, mainly black comb area sees this cat please let me know. His name is Fig and he’s been missing for over 12 hours and hasn’t come home for food which is very unusual. He’s in a bright neon green collar currently. I’m aware of the circumstances that he may not be alive but if anyone finds anything please contact me through here or by emailing [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
