The RDNO, in partnership with the Ribbons of Green Trails Society, have received notification through the Canadian Registrar of Trademarks that they have been successful in officially marking Greater Vernon as the Trails Capital of BC.
In 2022, the naming of Greater Vernon – Trails Capital of BC was proposed to the RDNO Board of Directors to emphasize the multitude and quality of trails in the area. The success in receiving this Official Mark through the Canadian Trademarks Act recognizes the contribution of many individuals, community groups, businesses, and local governments to the vibrancy and diversity of our trail networks. Additionally, the title will promote trail usage in the Greater Vernon area to locals and visitors alike.
“We are thrilled to see recognition of the years of hard work by volunteers, elected officials, business partners, and government staff to develop the extensive trail network in Greater Vernon,” said Kim Young, Director of the Ribbons of Green Trails Society. “We hope this will encourage and support continued growth throughout the region for years to come.”
As a part of advertising this new Official Mark, a committee led by the Ribbons of Green Trails Society has selected a brand and logo which will be added to trailhead signage and used digitally.
