The City of Abbotsford is looking at excluding West Bradner and Southeast Mt Lehman from the ALR for Industrial use. West Bradner is located East of Gloucester Industrial Estate, and the Trans-Canada Highway. Agricultural activity, including hay, blueberry, small-scale vegetable production, pasture and grape production, is primarily located in the southern portion of West Bradner.
The Southeast Mt Lehman portion is located between the Peardonville and Clearbrook Industrial Areas and Abbotsford International Airport. Agricultural activities at this location primarily include blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry production as well as poultry and greenhouse operations.
GVWS & LEPS are hosting another ivy pull & FREE pizza event on Saturday April 15th, 2017 - 10am to noon @ Bradner Park (north side of Haverman Rd. just west of Bradner Rd.) Come on down to destroy some ivy... it's getting pretty steep where we are working so channel your inner goat! Free PIZZA is served @ 12! GVWS & LEPS ivy pulling events are made possible by the support of the City of Abbotsford's Neighbourhood Spirit grant.
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.)

There are 3 more events for the Glen Valley Watersheds Society for 2016! Can’t believe this year is almost over. These events are rain or shine BUT the winds last week have reminded me that we will cancel these events if there are strong winds as we are working under trees.
