It’s up to cities to do something about giant homes on protected farmland, according to British Columbia’s Minister of Agriculture.
Metro ran a story Tuesday on Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker urging the province to “show leadership” and set up uniform rules about house sizes on Agricultural Land Reserve properties in B.C. after an investor applied for an “offensive” 31,000 square foot estate home on protected farmland in his city.
On Wednesday, Minister Norm Letnick reaffirmed that those kind of decisions are up to municipalities, not the province or the Agricultural Land Commission.
