Notes on this record

  • The City of Vernon's latest published employer table is in its Community Profile 2020 (released Jan 2021); ranges are recorded at their lower bound. No newer city list was found.
  • Also in the 2020 table but not recorded: RBC 150-175 (regional, branch network), Lake City Casino 150 (gatewaycasinos.com robots 403), tekmar 75-100 (watts.com 403), DCT Chambers trucking 75-100 (dctchambers.com did not connect), Wesbild/Predator Ridge 200-350 (robots disallows ClaudeBot), Remax / Century 21 (franchise brokerages), a law firm named after people; outside Vernon: Hytec, Maxx, Rogers Foods, Rapid Span, Great West Equipment and PRT Growing Services (Spallumcheen / Armstrong office per prt.com), VegPro (Coldstream), Kingfisher Boats (Area B). The Regional District of North Okanagan office is in Coldstream.
  • Blocked: kaltire.com and predatorridge.com robots.txt disallow ClaudeBot/anthropic-ai (Predator Ridge, 200-350 in the 2020 table, omitted); gatewaycasinos.com robots returned 403; watts.com tekmar brand page returned 403.
  • Deepen pass 2026-10-30 (software/funding): no venture-funded software company headquartered in Vernon was found. The City's Technology profile describes Epicor's Vernon office (LumberTrack / BisTrack wood-products software, formerly Progressive Solutions; 'a team of 50' at the time, undated) — epicor.com returns a Cloudflare 403 challenge, so no row. AVS Systems (Vernon HQ, acquired for $45 million at end of 2017 per Accelerate Okanagan's 'Tech Community in Vernon' post) — avssystems.com did not connect. Protocol Technologies now redirects to F12.net's Vernon page (managed IT; Vernon is a branch of a larger MSP) — not added. Small startups named by Accelerate Okanagan carry no funding or headcount and were not added.
  • Careers pages: Okanagan College job board (jobs.lever.co) and BC Hydro job search are robots-disallowed; kaltire.com disallows ClaudeBot. Headcounts are mostly the City's 2020 table — the newest published.
