Warning! Residents of Bradner issue major safety concern for Nathan Creek, as known by local Bradner residents as Beaver Creek, after life-threatening amounts of Fecal Coliform and Ecoli was discovered coming out of a culvert straight into a tributary that flows directly into Bradner (Bruff) Creek just before it joins Nathan (Beaver) Creek at the 58th and 56th Ave intersection. Anyone accessing this water, have children, pets or animals should be aware this high-level of pollution can cause numerous health issues, including death.
Members of the community had water tests done on April 25th, 2016 after two very polluted tributaries were discovered by residents in Bradner on April 20th. Samples were taken from one of the two polluted tributaries just south of 58th Ave. Delfresh Mushroom Farms and H.Q. Mushroom Farm has been fined for the pollution. The test results are absolutely disgusting... and off the charts - and NONE of us in Bradner have been warned.
Two tributaries in Bradner have been found with serious pollution in recent weeks. Both lead to Bruff (Bradner) Creek and Beaver (Nathan) Creek, which are salmon bearing creeks... children play in them and wildlife drinks from them. There is a good chance that polluted water may be running through your property... These tributaries are so bad that when discovering them your eyes will water, your nose and throat will sting... for days and you will gag, you'll only dry heave if you're lucky.
Many complaints have been received lately of the enormous amounts of garbage being dumped illegally in rural areas of West Abbotsford. Garbage seen are appliances, furniture, construction debris such as drywall and buckets.
Calling all Stakeholders... The City of Abbotsford is initiating a comprehensive planning process called AgRefresh, to review municipal agricultural policies, bylaws and regulations, and to establish a framework for ongoing bylaw compliance.
A brand new industrial Mushroom composting business named Avina Fresh Produce Ltd. and H.Q. Mushroom Farm Ltd. located at 28310 – 58th Ave in west Bradner is emitting a foul odour. Neighbouring residents say that if they leave windows open in the night, toxic fumes and unpleasant odours waft in. Because of of Bradner's unique location, wind-less nights draw in a Pacific Ocean fed 'marine layer' that forms over the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) area, and traps concentrations of any toxins or off-gasses beneath this layer at ground level.
Patience is running thin while residents of Bradner wait for the City of Abbotsford and the legal system to uphold the City's Zoning Bylaws and remove serial sex offender, James Conway, from our rural neighbourhood.
Without prejudice - Reader beware. The Abbotsford School Districts plan to re-configure 6 rural schools in Abbotsford from grades K - 7 to K - 5 has brought a lot of stress on families with children attending district schools. The west Abbotsford children are to be sent to Eugene Reimer Middle School (ER), and has parents standing up to the district in force saying no and standing firm - their kids have been withdrawn from the district all together. So what's wrong with middle school? Whats wrong with ER? Much discussion has taken place about the violence drug, and crime issues in the west Abbotsford area, namely in the area of Townline Road and Blueridge Drive. The community has requested the analysis of what is being SAID and what is REAL. This article is a compilation of recent events that have happened. This is a fact vs rumour analysis, decide what you want... participate in the discussion. What is referenced here is only a small cross-section of the search engine results available, there are many other incidents, Reader beware.
Updated Feb. 23, 2016 - Bradner CELEBRATES as it learns of the ALC's decision to deny the ALR exclusion that would have destroyed 225 acres of prime farming land in the rural farming community.
The City of Abbotsford voted to support an application to exclude 22 properties located in west Abbotsford, in our rural farming community of Bradner BC in 2012. The Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) application was from the Pacific Land Group on behalf of 0903475 BC Ltd. (principles: Ron Emerson and Joseph Segal) to exclude 22 properties totalling nearly 91 ha (225 acres) from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). An Abbotsford city counsellor, Patricia Ross commented that the developer plans to take another go at pushing the application through the ALC by re-submitting the application within the 60 day period of appeal after a decision... so what the motivation?? Money. |
