Wetlands Threatened by Expanding Industustrial Developments on Langley and Abbotsford Border5/7/2019  Brit Gardner - I went for a Langley walk yesterday along the West Creek headwaters, in Gloucester Industrial Estates. Close to where I grew up. Thanks to the beavers, these wetlands are a beautiful, thriving, and complete ecosystem. The creek headwaters are home to salmon spawning, geese, ducks, rare and migratory birds, rabbits, and countless other wildlife.

 On Friday April 27th, 2018, the Agriculture Land Commission (ALC) reached its decision on the City of Abbotsford's Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) exclusion application that proposed to remove 201.09 Hectares / 496.9 Acres from the ALR for Industrial use. The city had proceeded with the application, despite public opposition - leaving the communities affected on the edge of their seats awaiting the results.

 On February 16th, 2018, the Abbotsford News published an article about what Mayor Henry Braun thinks will happen with the recent ALR exclusion application - submitted by the City itself, despite the huge public outcry in opposition. The application was made to the Agriculture Land Commission (ALC) in late 2017, asking the ALC for nearly 700 acres of farmland in Abbotsford to be removed from the ALR for industrial parks - 331 acres in Bradner and 380 acres in South Mt. Lehman by the airport.

 While Bradner is bracing for the decision on yet another Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) exclusion application that keeps growing in acreage - now affecting over 699 acres of designated farmland in Abbotsford - this time submitted by the City of Abbotsford itself - the many reasons that the Agriculture Land Commision (ALC) DENIED the last application in January 2016 will provide a glimmer of hope to the affected communities.
 A new year has arrived, as well as a new President of the Mt. Lehman Garden Club, Maureen Homenuke - Maureen and her husband have lived in Mt. Lehman for 39 years! They raised 3 boys and are growing gardens every year. The Mt. Lehman Garden Club’s next meeting will be January 18th, 2018 @ 7 pm at the Mt. Lehman Community Hall.
