URGENT, URGENT

It appears the Summerland Hills Golf and Residential Development proponants are gathering forces for the upcoming ALC Public Hearing. They will be hosting a "pre-hearing" reception at their Main Street headquarters at 5:00pm the evening of the 12th.

As quoted from their invitation for support~

"Help is Needed.
Please bring a friend with you and join us for plenty of food and refreshments. As well, brief remarks will be made from the Summerland Hills Golf Resort team. Thereafter, we will head over to Center Stage Theater to insure seating for our supporters."

I am sorry to inform those opposing the removal of this ALR land, that the Association of Citizens for Summerland has neither the venue or the funds to host a reception complete with refreshments. However, let me assure you that it is critical that there be a huge show of support for the PRESERVATION of this ALR Land. Contrary to what has been reported regarding this ALR parcel, Paul Christie, contracted agrologist, refuted the remark by the application agent that this land is practically non-aerable or un-usable. He reiterated at the first ALC hearing that nearly 30% of this parcel is considered aerable, meaning Classes 1-4. He reported it may be especially suited to the growing of certain grape varieties, having the benefit of a south facing slope. I know this because I was there.

The ALC has responed to our request for the community to give further input. We absolutely have to show up.
