Rural Living - Farm Classification and the ALR

Welcome back! This is the first episode of the Growing Opportunities podcast Season 2.

In this episode Megan and Michelle talk to the previous Electoral Area A (Smithers Rural) Director for the RDBN Mark Fisher and Peter Alexander from BC Assessment.

They share with us what it means to own property in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), when you might need to contact the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), and how Farm Classification fits into this picture and why you might want to seek it out.

Interviews by Megan D'Arcy and Michelle Roberge

Music by Doctor Turtle
