Those who want to have a say on how agri-tourism should be regulated in this province now have until Jan. 15th, after the Ministry of Agriculture extended the deadline for comment on its draft policy on non-farm uses for land in the Agricultural Land Reserve.
The move comes after two farms that have become popular wedding spots announced no more bookings and outright cancellations of weddings last week due to cease-and-desist orders from the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC).
“I’ve expanded the deadline to January 15th because I started to hear back from some of the proponents of agri-tourism that they wanted more input into it,” said minister Norm Letnick of the Sept. 2014 draft policy that was sent out to municipalities after an extensive consultation period.
