How will resort development pressure affect agricultural land in Revelstoke?
Agricultural Land Commission planner Martin Collins visits Revelstoke and talks about the ALC’s role in decisions about agricultural land use. We spoke with him for our latest instalment of the Revelstoke Mountaineer Podcast.
Following controversy surrounding a development application in the airport bench area south of Revelstoke late last year, Revelstoke’s Local Food Initiative hosted an information session on the provincial Agricultural Land Commission on April 4.
We stopped by the meeting to speak with those involved and created the podcast below.
We spoke with LFI board member Melissa Hemphill, who explained what the session was about.
Martin Collins is the Director of Policy and Planning for the the Agricultural Land Commission. He explains its role in agricultural land decisions. We asked him what the future of agriculture in Revelstoke will look like as far as the ALC is concerned, and how everyday people can get involved in the issues.
