Scope and content
File consists of a speech given by Gary Runka entitled "The British Columbia Experience" for the Planning for Rural Growth event in Whatcom County, Bellingham, Washington.
Commentary on this speech by Barry Smith of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands:
"This is an important overview document of the farmland preservation program, summarizing the situation after about 6 years since the program's introduction.
There are several interesting points made in the paper - which was given to a non-BC / Canadian audience. A sample of these points included:
- The ALR is based on ecological characteristics of the land and this was very important to the ALR's
success; - The ALR is a long term zone;
- The legislation is not enough - the ALR will not be secure until agriculture and the farming community become an integral part of planning at every level;
- The Langley Properties and work of the Property Management Branch which re-surveying the properties into viable commercial farm units;
- Conflicting priorities of provincial agencies create difficulties;
GGR observes that the Commission has the opportunity "... to have provincial input into planning for agriculture." This is an action, that in due course, the Commission would play a leadership role."
