Still no government consultation or action regarding widespread public concerns around changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve.
This from Nelson’s Abra Brynne with the B.C Food Systems Network .

These will include an additional step of oversight on contentious development proposals.
But Brynne says that’s window dressing and everyone in the agricultural sector should be consulted.
Zone 2 ALR land- which includes the Kootenays – will be opened to certain development.
