          Notes for untitled speech by Gary Runka
          Notes for untitled speech by Gary Runka
          2020.4.2.1.13 · File · [ca. 1975]
          Part of G. Gary Runka fonds

          File consists of notes written by Joan Sawicki for an untitled pending speech by Gary Runka.

          Commentary on this speech by Barry Smith of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands:
          "Despite this being only 4 pages of rough notes, its focus on the initial work of the Commission and challenges of designating the ALR make it an historically important document.

          For example it was initially thought the ALR would be guided by class 1 - 4 CLI ratings but this proved impractical in the north and range areas. An additional challenge was that parts of the province only had the benefit of 1:50000 mapping. This presented a very real problem for establishing the ALR.

          One concern with this document is that because it is written in point form and consists of rough notes, it could be open to a degree of misinterpretation if not considered by an individual with experience in the administration of the ALR. For a much more refined statement on the B.C. Agricultural Land Preservation program and the designation of the ALR see Items [2020.4.2.1.23, 2020.4.2.1.24, and 2020.4.2.1.25]."
