It is sad to see that we age our buildings in “decades” while in Europe, schools, churches, hospitals, businesses and homes are still functioning very well in buildings that are aged in “centuries” and in some cases in “millennium.”
This doesn’t give much credence to our engineers and builders if we must tear down landmarks that are less than a 100 years old as in the case of Vernon Senior Secondary, the old post office and others as well.
Now the old Civic Arena is in jeopardy.
We, as citizens of Vernon need to step up to the plate and keep our own historic landmarks.
