British Columbia’s tree fruit growers are being reminded they have until Nov. 15, 2017, to apply for replant funding as they prepare for next year’s growing season.

British Columbia's key players in the agriculture, seafood, and food and beverage industries gathered at the Sandhill Winery to attend the first kickoff event to celebrate Buy BC: Eat Drink Local.

Minister of Agriculture Lana Popham has issued the following statement in recognition of B.C.’s agriculture producers and the upcoming Thanksgiving long weekend:

B.C. ranchers and farmers can now access the $20-million 2017 Canada-British Columbia Wildfires Recovery Initiative to help rebuild their livelihoods.

The British Columbia government is conducting a review of the Province’s professional reliance model to ensure the highest professional, technical and ethical standards are being applied to resource management in B.C.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO), a major hub for all things B.C. agriculture, has received a Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) community excellence award for Leadership and Innovation in Agriculture.

Together, the governments of Canada and British Columbia continue to support the people of British Columbia and First Nations communities facing the immediate and long-term impacts of wildfires.
