Past Annual Community Reports
Vital Signs
Vital Signs is CFNO's community check-up. It brings local data together with community context to show what's changing across the North Okanagan, where we're seeing progress, and where attention is needed. We've published it since 2011.
Vital Signs is a national program led by community foundations across Canada. Each edition covers 11 issue areas, from housing and health care to belonging, learning, safety, and the local economy.
2025 Vital Signs Update
A Brief Check-In on Our Community
