Concerns have been growing since the recent sale of agriculture land in the heart of Bradner and the new owners activities that are now taking place. The address is 5383 Bradner Road almost directly across from the Bradner Store and two doors down from the Bradner Hall. The property beside it home of Northside Transport Ltd. (5323 Bradner Road) has also been chipping away green space for some years already and is now being used for industrial/commercial purposes. Both properties are Agricultural One Zone (A1) for Agricultural and Agri-Tourism uses (lots that are 8.0 ha and larger in size.)
By Tyler Olsen, Abby News - November 19, 2016 - reposted on The Bradner Barker December 8, 2016 Local news reporter Tyler Olsen looked into the interesting history of draining Sumas Lake, which marked a major turning point in the development of the Fraser Valley.
Have your say! Agriculture in Abbotsford is changing, and is facing new opportunities and challenges. The City has launched the AgRefresh, a comprehensive three stage planning process to review and update policies, bylaws, and regulations for the use of agricultural land in Abbotsford. An online survey has been launched for input...
By Lynda Richard - It has been a month since the Abbotsford City Council meeting held at the Matsqui Auditorium on June 20th, 2016 and adopted the revised Official Community Plan (OCP) that replaced the 2005 Abbotsford OCP. Although those involved in developing the plan had much praise for their own efforts and the large percentage of public input, many of us in the outlying areas of Abbotsford were unaware that the process was even taking place. Some people I spoke with did not even know what the initials OCP stand for.
The numbers quoted at the meeting added up to about 6% of Abbotsford residents taking part in the feedback process. Many of us do not receive the local paper on a regular basis (delivery can be sporadic) and many do not read online. That June 20th council meeting was the final chance for input from the public regarding the adoption of a new Official Community Plan (OCP). The plan, though generally acceptable in content, did include at least one unacceptable proposal, and that is the lands located in the proposed west Bradner Industrial Park as a study area for future industrial use. BIG NEWS TODAY!! Conway has been moved out of the pedophile house and has been relocated in Mission, BC. More details will be posted as they emerge on the Protect our Children in Bradner Facebook Page. The above picture was taken by a local Bradner neighbour who drove past the pedophile house only to see Conway (in the doorway) and a second criminal lounging in the front yard. Both men casually gave the neighbour 'the finger' as he drove by, so the neighbour stopped and took a picture. What a fine example of our British Columbia criminal justice system. Criminals and sex offenders lounging in a residential community laughing at honest, hard working neighbours whose lives have been totally disrupted by their presence.
By John Russell Walsh - It has come to our attention that the City of Abbotsford is appealing the ALC's decision to deny the removal of 225 acres of A1 farmland adjacent to the Gloucester Industrial Estate by adding the exclusion to the recently revised Official Community Plan (OCP). The community of Bradner requests that any decision to either approve or reject this or any other exclusion application needs to be based on reason and facts.
225 acres of west Bradner is again being considered as a new industrial site. This time the City of Abbotsford itself is applying for the exclusion. The DEADLINE to respond to the city with your concerns is on June 20th, 2016 - although the city did not provide a meeting time or location. This news and deadline was received on Friday June 17th, 2016 - which gives the community just 3 days warning... over the weekend. Back in February 2016, the Agriculture Land Commission (ALC) denied an application by an industrial developer.
