Meat is being sold as "uninspected" and is only for local consumers, not for retail or restaurant use" Please read the article for more complete information.

Amalgamate or Incorporate

Residents in Areas B & C continue to see land being annexed by the City of Vernon for more development. Under current regulations, there is little the residents can do to oppose annexation. More development means more traffic, less privacy, more water usage, more waste, more noise pollution, more light pollution and in general, more destruction of the way of life most of us wish to preserve. The link below "Amalgamate or Incorporate" outlines some of the options to consider for the protection of our lifestyle. You may email hivac@hivac.com if you have any comments on this or any other matter relating to the BX-Swan Lake Community.
