Over the past year, Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Institute for Sustainable Food Systems (ISFS) and the Land to Table Network of the North Okanagan (L2T) have collaborated with the Regional District of the North Okanagan (RDNO) and local stakeholders to prepare a 5-year development plan for the BX Ranchlands parcel at 4122 East Vernon Rd.
The BX Ranchlands site is a valued community resource for agriculture, recreation, and conservation. The objective of the draft plan is to maintain community access while supporting ecological well-being and encouraging agricultural opportunities for local farmers and growers.
The broader community is now invited to learn about the draft plan and provide feedback. Anyone with a connection to the BX Ranchlands or an interest in its development is encouraged to attend the BX Ranchlands Open House on May 12th, at 4122 East Vernon Rd, from 3 – 7 pm. ISFS and L2T will give tours of the site, share the draft plan and collect community input.
