Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
abbasford
Mission,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker
I
rise
in
the
house
today
to
recognize
BC
AG
day
the
day
acts
as
a
reminder
to
all
British
Columbians.
How
fortunate
we
are
to
have
such
a
passionate
and
committed
group
producing
food
for
the
people
in
our
Province
when
I
think
about
agriculture.
I
can't
help
but
think
of
the
people
of
Abbotsford
admission.
We've
seen
the
extreme
impacts
of
climate-related
weather
events
on
our
farming
communities,
and
that's
why
we
are
taking
action
to
support
farmers
and
Ranchers
with
climate
adaptation
tools
and
projects.
A
The
vandercoy
family
owns
Bakerview
Eco
dairy
in
Abbotsford
and
are
deeply
committed
to
helping
people
learn
about
farming
and
where
their
food
comes
from.
This
working
farm
is
open
to
the
public
for
field
trips
tours
and
events.
The
farm
is
home
to
a
variety
of
farm
animals
that
even
includes
beehives.
Most
of
the
land
is
irrigated
grass
for
the
cattle,
but
they
also
grow
berries
and
rice.
Yes,
rice.
These
stewards
of
the
land
have
embraced
technology
such
as
anaerobic
digesters
that
help
to
convert
animal
manure
into
usable
resources
like
heat
and
electricity.
A
The
van
der
koi's
are
living
their
dream
of
collaborating
with
the
agricultural
Community
to
continue
to
develop
solutions
to
improve
animal
well-being
and
the
environment.
A
shining
example
of
how
traditional
and
Innovative
farming
techniques
can
come
together
to
contribute
to
the
local
economy.
If
you
visit
Abbotsford
I'd
like
you
to
stop
by
Bakerview
Eco
Dairy
for
a
tour
and
the
ice
cream,
I
promise,
you
is
exceptional,
highly
recommended.
Thank
you.
Mr
Speaker.
