The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
with
rapid
urbanization
happening
around
us,
especially
in
Metro
Vancouver
where
I
live.
It
can
be
quite
easy
to
lose
awareness
of
our
natural
agricultural
environment
and
the
benefits
it
brings
to
all
of
us
to
address
this
and
many
other
good
initiatives.
Gigi
Canada
a
Buddhist
Foundation
operates.
A
nine
Acre
Farm
in
Richmond
could
have
the
pressure
of
visiting
last
Friday.
A
In
addition
to
having
this
gorgeous
Farm,
that's
open
to
all
British
Colombians
for
free
to
promote
awareness
of
the
environment.
The
foundation
teaches
compassion,
shares
knowledge
and
gives
back
to
the
community
at
the
farm.
Kuch
I
highly
encourage
each
and
every
one
of
our
members
to
visit.
You
can
find
everything
from
corn
to
berries,
kiwis
cherries,
tomatoes,
pumpkins,
strawberries,
lettuce,
peppers
and
lots
more
that
you
can
name.
A
They
are
on
a
mission
to
also
promote
vegetarian
meals
and
the
benefits
of
having
a
natural
plant-based
diet.
After
the
visit
to
the
farm,
I
don't
need
a
lot
more
convincing
Additionally.
The
farm
allows
families
from
the
local
community
to
plan
their
choice
of
products
in
place
of
Farmland,
what
an
Innovative
way
to
give
back
to
the
community.
A
While
enhancing
Community
involvement,
farmed
produce
never
goes
to
waste,
since
those
in
need
are
supported
by
process
from
the
farm,
including
the
local
food
bank,
I'd
like
to
find
the
GT
Canada
Foundation,
there
are
selfless
volunteers
and
all
community
members
for
their
hard
work
and
dedication
to
help
me
respond
a
reality.
Thank
you.
Mr
Speaker.
