 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.

 Way to go City of Abbotsford. You've decided to support an application that will destroy a community, pollute a salmon spawning creek and obliterate an area that is environmentally fragile. It's ok though because your friend Ron Emerson will make millions of dollars.
 Why are Childcare Subsidy, Gaming Grants, Child Care Operating Funding and the Major Capital Funding: Creation of New Licensed Child Care Spaces been totally omitted from the $10/day conversation?
As an expert in the childcare field, I am tired of waiting for someone to point out what parents and care givers already have. Instead, I only hear the $10/day lure... dazzling voters into the $10/day childcare plan that the NDP is proposing.

Watch - Chief Bob Rich encouraging participation in 2016 Community Survey  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.
 Crown Land Map of Vancouver BC - Data BC 2013 By Russell Walsh - The Lower Mainland's housing crisis can be solved. The green and pink parts of this map mark Crown Land in the Lower Mainland, BC. This map holds the key to solving what is arguably the most critical problem the Lower Mainland has ever faced - astronomically high, unattainable cost of accommodation.

Bradner BC - Yes, I am very opposed to K-5 for our rural schools for many reasons! HOWEVER, people are spreading rumours about what they THINK Eugene Reimer and Rick Hansen are like. Although enrollment for both of these schools has been declining, it is mostly due to rumours that people are circulating about these two schools. I have had 2 daughters attend Eugene Reimer Middle School (ER) and are now at Rick Hansen Secondary (RH), and they are both doing very well at school.

This isn't how Saturday nights are meant to be! Thank you Abbotsford School District for ruining my weekend! I can't think of anything else but your reconfiguration proposal or the billions of reasons why your wrong in what your doing. Good luck to the poor shmuck that will have to read my letters and the research I've compiled on the subject. I would normally pass this along with a bottle of sympathy wine but I will be enjoying that while I work through the night... and passing the others to my partners in this endeavour you've created for us. |
