Vernon first indigenous learning tour! A fun, collaborative and interactive way to advance reconciliation through learning.
The self guided tour will run for the month of September and will include 15 stops around downtown. Each business will host an orange circle on their front window with an inquisitive question. Each circle will provide a QR code that links to information or a youtube video.
At each location there will be a chance to enter a draw to win a local prize basket from that business!
