On the March 18 council agenda there is a report recommending approval of a zoning bylaw amendment to facilitate boundary adjustments on the 7th concession South of 16th side Rd. At the January public meeting numerous questions were asked by council about the rationale for why the adjustments were being proposed and concern about impact on natural heritage systems was voiced.  Having read the report I am supportive of the application. And I am very pleased to learn of the regenerative farming management program at LVO Farms (14295 7^th Concession) already in place and that with the boundary adjustment there will be additional acreage managed in this way as regenerative farming is a valuable way to mitigate climate change.

Regenerative agriculture describes farming and grazing practices that, among other benefits, reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and re storing degraded soil biodiversity which results in both carbon drawdown and improving the water cycle.

As always you can participate in the Council and make a deputation on this motion  in person or virtually.  For details on how to do please see Council agenda.  Or you can send an email to clerks@king.ca by Monday noon with your comments, questions.
