Peu le savent mais Saint-Lambert et Vernon, BC sont deux villes-soeurs depuis l'an 2000.


On September 1, 1982, the “International Friendship Committee” was established at a City of Vernon Council meeting with the adoption of a resolution to twin with the City of Modesto, California. In the decades since it is inception, the committee, now known as the Sister Cities Committee has coordinated the twinning of five additional sister cities. From the US to India, Japan, Europe and Eastern Canada, our sister cities offer a diverse opportunity for cultural exchange. Sister Cities (vernon.ca)


Vernon est une ville magnifique localisée dans la vallée de l'Okanagan. Destination Profile (tourismvernon.com)


J'ai contacté M.Tom Ouchi, qui est impliqué dans le comité ville soeurs de Vernon pour commencer à établir des liens entre nos deux villes. Plusieurs opportunités existent: échanges étudiants, travail d'été dans les vergers, échanges culturels, sportifs, etc.


C'est important pour Tom et moi de contribuer à renforcir les liens entre les Canadiens d'un océan à l'autre.
