Many from Vernon know the Teach and Learn Store, which sells educational supplies, toys, games and snacks. The business has been run by the Henke family for decades now, and you could always find them around, helping customers.

Some of you may recall hearing about a tragedy that struck the family earlier this past summer. Their daughter Lynza, 15, was hit by a truck at the intersection between 30th Ave. and 32nd Street. She was airlifted to the children's hospital in Vancouver but passed away about a month later. At the same time, Lynza's mother, Lynella, was battling stage 4 cancer. She continued to receive treatment while Lynza was on life support in Vancouver.

The store announced a few days that Lynella passed away on the 3rd. Her funeral was held this morning. Her husband and 2 other girls now have lost both their daughter/sister and wife/mom in less than 3 months. As you can imagine, it is a very difficult time for them, and they would appreciate prayers. Please keep them in your thoughts at this time.

I’ve been thinking about getting tint for my car and I really want to get the drivers and passenger two windows tinted like 35% but I thought I wouldn’t bother because its illegal in BC and I didn’t want to deal with the headache.

But the amount of people with the front two windows tinted in Vernon (and the Okanagan in general tbh) is crazy! It seems like every 1 in 5 cars here in Vernon have their front windows tinted. Do the cops just not care??

What’re some cheap activities y’all recommend in Vernon? been buzzing all day thinking about what to do, and i don’t want to let him down on his big day, he’s 21!!

Is CBD Oil prescribed by a Dr or am I able to buy itself at a weed store? If so, can anyone recommend a store?

TIA

Hi!

I'm not in Vernon but my senior mom is. There is a tax issue with a controlling husband that keeps her from qualifying for the government dental and she hasn't seen a dentist in a decade. Loose fillings, needs at least two cavities filled and a tooth pulled. I just found out about this today and I'm going to try and help her from afar but I'm wondering if there is a dentist who does any of this sort of work at a reduced rate once in a while.

Basically title. Wondering which clinic in town can get me in and out the quickest. Have been waiting 30-60 mins at Dynacare on 30th and wondering about the secret quicker spots.

Can anyone recommend a good mortgage broker in town?

The few I've talked to seem to know less than I do.

Ideally someone who studies the market/economics, willing to run models for different mortgage terms (ie 3 vs 5, variable vs fixed) to find best option, walk through pros and cons of different banks terms. And obviously negotiate a great rate.

Let me know if you've worked with someone who knows their shit!

I'm curious to know what you all do in your free time. Bonus points if it's something you can do comfortably in the winter! I need something to look forward to whenever winter comes around.

Hi I am looking for good Chiropractor in Vernon for my 70 yo friend ...I would appreciate any suggestions and contact:)

We recently sold our car and just not super interested in buying another. Looking for hiking trails that are reasonably accessible by the city bus, if anyone happens to know?

Hey All, Just trying to find some opinions on having indoor fun business in Vernon. Planning to start a VR game area for adults and kids above 6 as well as kids indoor augmented reality in VERNON, currently looking at various locations. Let me know your opinion.

Basically the title! How do you feel Vernon has changed in the last ten years, if at all!

I have had the misfortune of living here for 7 months(on a 1 year lease) The building has smelled of feces for weeks, only to find out recently after harassing my landlord and strata, that it's because of broken air scrubbers on the roof and the septic vents are being pushed into the building. They say it won't be fixed for a few more weeks, and I'm not sure how much longer I will stay sane living here. Has anyone gotten out of their lease here? Is septic venting into the building not a good enough reason to break a lease without penalties?

I guess just a warning to anyone looking at these "micro suites" They're 351sqf, you can hear everything, smells like literal feces and the strata sucks.

I don't live in Vernon, but there's a camper I'm interested in that's in Vernon, and the guy who posted it on Facebook doesn't seem to be checking his messages and that's the only way he's given of contacting him. The ad says it's parked off Tronson Road at the Vernon airport, and I can see in the pictures that there's a For Sale sign in the front window. Is there anyone willing/able to go there to take a picture of that sign, which I'm assuming/hoping has a phone number on it and send that to me? I'll post a pic of the camper in the comments. I would be very grateful if anyone is able to do this!

Does anyone know why this he police busted all the shops on the green mile?

Just in case anyone is looking for Covid and Flu vaccine walk-ins, I just got both my Covid and flu shots at the CareConnect IDA pharmacy on 25th Avenue as a walk-in.

The pharmacists is doing walk-ins every afternoon and I waited about ten minutes to get mine. I wasn’t sure if I needed to wait for my invitation to book an appointment but as long as you are due for the vaccination you can get it.

Please enter the first roundabout from the left lane, if you come in on the right lane you are required to turn right onto 39th ave. It isn't that difficult, there are signs posted that tell you how to do it. I believe in at least half of you.

I’m a 22 year old and I can’t find any work, I’ve been trying for almost a year and nothing, I’ve tried applying on indeed, going in person and talking to managers and handing them my resume. out of everything I’ve done I’ve gotten two interviews. I’m really losing my hope. If you have any advice please im absolutely open to listening.

Rather than detouring around the scooter that lay across the sidewalk by stepping off the sidewalk onto the road did it occur to Marlene to stand the scooter back up. Maybe the wind knocked it over.

I do see people wearing helmets but not everyone does.

I think the scooters are a good option to get people around town but there will always be some small issues that arise. This is no grounds to abandon the program in my opinion.

I’ve got a 2004 Honda accord 2L and it it just started ticking, they diagnosed it as “sheared exhaust cam” and it needs to be replaced. I can get the part for cheap but I’m scared to try to fix it myself especially torquing go specific psi, is there any backyard mechanics that anyone would recommend to tackle this for cash?
