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.
The Mt. Lehman Garden Club’s next meeting will be Thursday March 15, 2018 @ 7 pm at the Mt Lehman Community Hall.
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.

By Don Burke, MD, FRCPC, FACP - Dear Mayor Braun and Abbotsford City Council Members, This letter is on behalf of the physicians of Abbotsford and like-minded professionals.
It is my understanding that city council is intending to vote on whether to remove two parcels of land, one near the airport (Plan B), and the other in Bradner (Plan A), from ALR protection in order to allow industrial development. I also understand that there is a public hearing scheduled for July 17th at city hall regarding this topic. |
