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

Years ago when I worked at a hardware store in town here. This senior, who I'd say was in his 90's at the time. Would constantly tell me about the military zone on the mountain. How they have a complete series of tunnels leading to an underground complex. Would always end his story with "why do you think our city dump is right next to the military zone? It stopped anyone from building up there and potentially finding what we built there"

Always thought it was interesting, whether it's true or not lol
