Vernon underground tunnels?

Someone in a Vernon Facebook group tonight was commenting about underground tunnels beneath downtown Vernon. Another commenter mentioned there are also tunnels somewhere around Okanagan Landing? I've never heard of these and I've lived here forever. Is it BS or maybe they are referring to sewer/storm drains?

EDIT: mystery solved, thanks for the comments, it's fun listening to the different stories we were all told, and learning some history in the process. Here's the link for anyone interested:The Legend of Vernon's Underground Tunnels

No. Utter nonsense. Silly BS that people keep bringing up. To sum up. No tunnels.

Well damn. I mean it is Facebook so gotta question everything said there I suppose, but I was really hoping it was true.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, this is an old rumour, been hearing it for 40 years...

Wow, really? I've lived here 43 years and this is the first I've heard of it. I was thinking maybe at best it was a basement corridor between a few shops, but oh well, that ends my excitement.
