VPPC

The Vernon Pigeon and Poultry Club was formed in 1965. It began as the Vernon Fancy Pigeon Club, as a group of pigeon fanciers who wanted to be able to show at the Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong, British Columbia. The founding members were: George Zimmerman, Horst Billie, Don Mackay, Victor Lewinski, Joe Podanowski, and Colin Foord. A spring show followed in 1966. There were 115 entries with 22 pigeon varieties. A short time later, the new club expanded to include Harry Bickert and John May who wanted to show poultry and waterfowl. This necessitated a name change to the Vernon Pigeon and Poultry Club or the VPPC as we know it today. In 2010 we celebrated our 45 th anniversary, an accomplishment we are proud of! We expect 2011 to bring another successful year to the Vernon Pigeon and Poultry Club, with us hosting the Canadian National Poultry Show.
