All Candidates Forum Question:How will you encourage the retention of programs at the Vernon Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library??

Our Vernon Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library is much more than a place to hold shelves full of books. It is a cultural gathering place for citizens of Greater Vernon and is truly a haven for the curious mind. While I served as Vernon‘s Director at the ORL the decision was made to supply the land on which our new library is built. I also served on the steering committee for the new Branch. The Vernon councilor who is chosen to serve as a director to the ORL board will need to continue to champion the budget requirements necessary to maintain and enhance the programs that are of such benefit to our communities. 
Cheers,
Shawn Lee
Candidate for Vernon City Council
