The Premier’s Wild Salmon Advisory Council is continuing its work toward the development of a renewed provincial approach to protecting and enhancing wild salmon, with the launch of community engagement sessions around the province beginning next month.

When it comes to protecting farmland, the choice is obvious and the rationale is simple: the best farmland in our province should be used to grow food, not for mega-mansions and illegal garbage dumps.

Beekeepers around the province have another opportunity to apply for BeeBC funding to help with projects in their communities to support the health of bees in British Columbia.

Indigenous communities in British Columbia that are interested in developing agriculture businesses and supporting local food security will soon have more tools to plan and pursue those opportunities.

Oyster farmers from British Columbia’s coastal communities are seeing increased opportunities and stability in the oyster industry, stemming from funding through the BC Oyster Recovery Fund.

Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture, has issued the following statement to recognize and thank B.C.’s agriculture sector this Thanksgiving long weekend:

The people involved in the first stage of growing fresh and healthy B.C. vegetables are getting some help to increase the amount of local food grown in their communities.
