Fatkin Daffodil Display

By Lynda Richard - If you look closely at a daffodil, the very intricacy of the flower – the extension of the trumpet – there are few flowers more incredible looking in all of nature. That beauty was exactly what inspired Fenwick Fatkin to embark on a venture so many years ago that has resulted in Bradner becoming known as “The Daffodil Capital of Canada.”

ALR Exclusion, "unlikely" - says Mayor

3/21/2018

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.
