Right To Farm Act An Issue For Coldstream

Coldstream Council is hoping to have a meeting with a couple of cabinet ministers at this fall’s UBCM convention.

Council’s Committee of the Whole wants staff to request a meeting with the Agriculture and Housing Ministers to talk about modernizing the Right to Farm Act

Mayor Jim Garlick says it’s been talked about for years, including an expression of concern from former M-L-A L Lyall Hanson.

“In our research we went through meeting minutes and he was the minister that expressed the most concerns over it heading in the direction that there was no input anymore from local government.”
