June 2nd...Be down at Municipal Hall!!!

Agricultural Advisory Committee Meeting, Thursday June 2nd at 1:00pm, at Municipal Hall.

The ALR Exclusion Application for 154 hectares, in West Prairie Valley, intended use, part of the proposed Golf Course and Residential Development, is on the agenda for this meeting. This particular group of parcels had originally been referred to as Area 11 in the OCP drafts. It was often referred to as being 57 hectares; however, as it turns out, the full area is actually close to three times that size. The AAC will possibly give a recommendation on this parcel at this meeting. We will be anxiously awaiting that recommendation.

Tony Cooke, Association President, will ask to give a statement to the committee, on behalf of the Association, supporting the preservation of ALR lands, and opposing the future use of this land as part of a large scale residential development.

Please attend this meeting to lend support and create a stronger showing for the Association. A large turn-out to this meeting will be more effective!!!!!!!! I will certainly be posting what transpires at this meeting!

  • Thanks to all who turned out and congratulations to those people who spoke out on behalf of the citizens of Summerland. Tony did an excellent job in exlaining to the AAC what our position is in regard to the the ALR exclusions as well as our apprehension about the property being "sold" to the developer. David certainly made it clear that the properties involved belonged in part to all the people of Summerland and to the people of BC as a whole. Caroline also added some comments that I hope, will make Council think twice before they "give" this land away. And, thanks to the lady on the AAC who certainly made it clear that she was on our side. (Sorry, I missed your name.)
