History
In the early 1900s, numerous sawmills, gristmills, canneries and distilleries operated in Vernon. The presence of the Skanandoa Creek for power and major rail service led to the development of the area. Wards Canning Company, located at 1 Ward Street, shut down after years of operation, but in 2016, wedding professionals in the local area envisioned the huge potential of the building's classic design and refurbished it for use as a wedding venue.
