Message from the Chair
Fiscal 2013/14 was another year of continued work for the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) with
a focus on meeting the recommendations of the Auditor General’s 2010 audit as well as our strategic direction of becoming more pro-active.
Work on Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) boundary reviews continued and completion of the initial
Elk Valley review in the Regional District of East Kootenay was an important step in moving forward
with this work. The ALC completed an audit of its delegation agreement with the Regional District of
Fraser-Fort George and updated its agreement with the Oil and Gas Commission.
The ALC’s ongoing work to enhance its technology capacity via development of an online application
process, a new website and data capture – scanning of historical applications was a major focus for
staff.
Significant steps were taken related to staffing including hiring to fill vacant and temporary planning
and policy, compliance and enforcement and GIS positions. A new staffing structure was enabled
which is designed to provide more effective service by focusing the staff secretariat operations on
pro-active planning, policy development functions and stakeholder engagement.
