Good Morning Roger:
Please let me know the Dec.17th – 18th decision for the Langford ALR
exclusion applications results.
Proposed exclusion of ten Langford properties from the Agricultural Land Reserve
Currently before the Agricultural Land Commission are 10 applications to remove approximately 29 acres of prime farmland from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) in the City of Langford, BC.
For more than a year the community has been requesting an inclusive process, but there has been virtually none.
We are a less than one week away from the ALC Panel decision (Dec. 17-18, 2009) on ten removal applications in Langford.
Residents can write to ask for a public hearing to:
Roger Cheetham,
Regional Planner
