The Board of Variance (BOV) meets when applications are received for minor variances to certain provisions of City Bylaws. When necessary, the BOV convenes on the third Tuesday of every month at 10:00 a.m., at Abbotsford City Hall. The BOV consists of ¿ve members who are appointed by Council. Currently, there is one vacancy on the Board. The BOV member will be selected on the basis of availability, experience and the expertise he/she can bring to the Board and not necessarily as a representative of a particular agency, organization or interest group.

The Council of the City of Abbotsford Pursuant to the Community Charter, gives notice of intention to dispose of the following City property: Legal Description:

That portion of : Parcel A Section 24 Township 16 New Westminster District Plan BCP39652; shown hatched red on the attached sketch

Civic Address:

35325 Raven Court

The City of Abbotsford, which takes a pro-active approach to snow and ice control, operates three anti-icing units (tanks containing sodium chloride solution) on four-lane roads and rural priority roads. The units are used to spray road surfaces before and during a storm. Anti-icing helps keep roads ice free and improves snow removal. Several pre-wetting units, which inject liquid sodium chloride into the salt/sand mixture before it is applied to roads, are also used by the City. These units increase the melting of snow and ice, and reduce the loss of salt/sand caused by traf¿c.

Property Description:

Existing Gravel Access (~ 6m x 75m)

C EN V RA

The City does not remove snow and ice to bare pavement conditions. The public is encouraged to use caution, and wherever possible, park vehicles off the streets. Abandoned vehicles or vehicles obstructing roadways will be towed without notice to allow for snow clearing operations to continue and towing costs will be the responsibility of the vehicle owners. We ask that you do not plow snow from private properties onto the public roadways as this can result in visibility hazards and obstructions and will require additional time for clearing roadways.

~5 0m

The City will work 24 hour days until the snow ends and ¿rst priority routes are passable for travel. For more information, please contact the Engineering Operations Division at 604-853-5485.

Correspondence concerning the BOV appointment must be directed to the Director of Legislative Services/City Clerk, Abbotsford City Hall, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, B.C. V2T 1W7; email: bÀitton@abbotsford.ca or by fax: 604-853-1934 by no later than 4:30 pm, Friday, February 4, 2011.

First priority roads are maintained until conditions are under control subject to worker/equipment availability and weather. Only then are resources redirected to second priority routes and subsequently third priority routes.

Members of the public are invited to submit their resumés and letters outlining their interest and quali¿cations for serving on the City of Abbotsford’s Board of Variance, as well as their anticipated availability for attending Board of Variance Hearings.

A group of high school students are working to boost youth engagement in the community. Driven by a desire for social change, seven Abbotsford teenagers formed an action team last year called Student Connections. Their goal is to create a new volunteer culture at the youth level. “Our motto is engage, empower and elevate,” said team member Tanya Thakur, a Grade 12 student at Abbotsford Collegiate Secondary School. “We want to engage youth, we want to empower them through that engagement, and through that engagement comes elevation of their status in the society of Abbotsford.” Student Connections will act as a mediator between the student population and non-profit sector. They recently partnered with Volunteer Abbotsford to gain greater access to community resources. The group will not only

People pulled over during traffic stops and in other interactions with police could soon find themselves captured on video. The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is in the preliminary stages of equipping its fleet of vehicles with in-car digital video cameras. Const. Ian MacDonald said nine cars – five in traffic and four in patrol

– are currently equipped with the devices, but they are not yet operational. The APD has 33 patrol vehicles and five traffic cars, but it’s not yet known how many of them in total will eventually contain the equipment. MacDonald said the department has been considering the matter for about the last year, but there are still many details to be worked out, including budgeting and the policies surrounding the

use of the cameras. He said the instruments will serve a useful purpose. “Technology is part of the world, and it’s a reality for police ... If there is an opportunity to gather the best evidence, we need to be part of it,” he said. RCMP detachments throughout B.C. and the Integrated Road Safety Unit have been using the cameras in their traffic cars for the last year or two. Cpl. Jamie Chung, with the

RCMP’s E division traffic services, said they have been particularly helpful in impaired driving cases. “What better way to show a judge that a guy was drunk than when you can show a video that he was staggering all over the place.” The audio portion can also capture slurring or threatening words and the belligerence of an aggressive suspect.

When they discovered the gel prosthesis in a pat down, the security staff accused Strecker of lying. She told The News she was humiliated, and may never fly again. Strecker’s treatment received national media attention. Her story struck a chord with Fast. “She reminded me so much of my mother, and my motherin-law,” he said, adding they are about the same age as Strecker, and one of them has a similar medical condition. He “will not pre-judge” CATSA until the complaints process is complete, but added: “I was concerned at what I heard.” Fast awaits the agency’s reply, and said he will follow up if he doesn’t receive a response in a month.

Chung said such footage eases the court system because many people plead guilty knowing that such hard evidence exists, saving the time and expense of a trial. He said the equipment can also verify circumstances when there is a complaint about an officer’s conduct. “We want to get to the truth in every case,” he said. The RCMP opted to install the cameras only in its

traffic vehicles because that made the most fiscal sense, Chung said. Patrol cars are often deployed to situations – such as domestic disturbances – in which an in-car camera serves no purpose. Neither MacDonald nor Chung could confirm the costs of the cameras. However, the Delta Police Department (DPD) received a one-time grant in 2009 to purchase and install the devices in five cars. The grant amounted to $36,500. MacDonald said he could not give a timeline for when the cameras will be operational.

A large piece of equipment known as a grinder, used in road resurfacing, flipped while working on Highway 1 near the McCallum overpass on Thursday, just before noon. The machine, owned by Winvan Paving Ltd., leaked fluids and required a hazardous materials response. The highway was closed to one lane for several hours to allow the equipment to be set back on its tracks.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Humiliated at airport

Should Abbotsford quit the FVRD if up to $2 million can be saved?

If Mrs. Strecker had mentioned her gel ﬁlled prosthetic, things would not have gone as they did. If however, the security people were not stringent, and allowed an explosive to be smuggled onboard and detonate, imagine the uproar then about how they aren’t doing their jobs properly. buzz62

To answer, go to abbynews.com

Looks like there is reason for more training in communicating with seniors, i.e. some can’t hear too well or grasp what someone with an accent or awkward English is saying. I’ll guess Elizabeth is a great-grandmother and the person doing the inspecting and even the supervisor were young enough to be her great-grandchild. Show some respect. rhiebert

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Would you use transit more often if bus schedules were more frequent and expanded?

The staff at that airport as a whole should be deeply ashamed of themselves. Hasn’t this poor old grandmother gone through enough? She’s not only elderly and feeble, but she’s also lost a part of her body, and to get bullied, embarrased and mocked by some yahoo security staff ? Shame! mrsSanford

On Point It seems there is no end to the nuances of social networking. The latest revelation to blossom upon my awareness involves the phenomenon of texting, or more to the point, the etiquette of same. Somehow, an informal discussion of which I was part had come around to a comparison of emailing versus texting – speciﬁcally, students using either when communicating with teachers. Sending someone a text is the same as shooting off an email, I opined, and was sharply corrected. “No way! Texting is personal!” Stunned, was I. Gobsmacked. Flummoxed. Personal? How could an arrangement of letters sent by one electronic device to another digital gizmo be remotely “personal?”

And what makes texting any more humanly intimate than emailing, which involves precisely the same process? Is it because the message is received on one’s phone, or iTouch, or NoTouch, or YouTouchMePlease … whatever those things are called? Oh yes, there’s intimacy for you. “HUD? WRUD? AWHFY? (Which roughly translates into, how are you doing, what are you doing right now, and are we having fun yet?” My personal favourite is PUTDPACM. Pick Up The Damn Phone And Call Me! Somehow I don’t get the warm and fuzzies from acronyms. And even spelled out, words don’t seem to have the same appeal as the tone and timber of the spoken word, even if it’s over the phone. I don’t get that part, either. Why do people text, instead of call? I mean, they’re texting on a phone, for crying out loud! I have virtual cranial bleeding when I watch my teen daughter and her friends whacking away at their keyboards, sending out a stream of emails

and texts to other friends. Why don’t you just call these individuals, and get it over with? No, belay that. Phone calls involving two or more young female teens very rapidly erodes into non-stop giggling, ranging from staccato bursts to all-out

Even spelled out, words don’t seem to have the same appeal as the tone and timber of the spoken word. hysteria. No wonder they have to text. It’s hard to communicate complex thoughts via hyena-like braying. Then it’s actually more efﬁcient just to type LOL (laugh out loud). Actually, there does some to be some sort of digital communication hierarchy in existence. My daughter’s bashful “boyfriend” – oh, don’t get me

started – used email to ask her to date him. That was the formal approach. After she agreed, the “relationship” – really, just drop it, OK? – advanced to texting. Now, she jumps like an electrocuted bunny every time her iPod goes “bing!” Not to worry though, folks. Dating at the 13-year-old level – at least in my rulebook – involves eye contact, and that’s pretty much it. My daughter calls it “sort of undating.” I have no clue what that means, but it sounds right. However, back to texting. I suppose it was inevitable that with all of this technology, which no longer requires human beings to actually speak to each other, some sort of structure had to be developed to bring a range of social interaction into the process. Y’know what I ﬁnd really ironic, though? If texting is more intimate than emailing, why is one of the most popular devices used for the purpose, called an iPod Touch? It really should be called the iPod Touchless.

letters Feeling gaming funding cuts Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $40 million that was removed from services to you, your aging mother, your dying friend, your disabled child. In effect this is a counter tax. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being removed from services in our communities. Sometimes these are about lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; deathâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;health and sometimes they are about recreationâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;art â&#x20AC;&#x201C;environment. An argument might be made that some of these can stand to be shaken up, that some will not survive and that some will thrive; let the market find its place.

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the market â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is charity. These are services to families and neighbours, and it is charities that fill the gaps or provide governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services. These supports come in times of need. The market found its place and the government cut $40 million in funding in the name of fiscal responsibility. Why wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the leadership candidates talk about these decisions and their impact on families? Why wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they stand up for communities? For whom do they stand?

Why is it that the candidates for political leadership in B.C. donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have a conversation about gaming in B.C., and specifically, funding cuts to programs and services? Candidates are saying that they are happy with the choices that have been made, that they have no intention of revisiting these issues or that governments donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make mistakes, they make decisions. The best I can understand, they think they made a responsible decision about reducing gaming funding to charities by $40 million.

parking lot of the complex where he lived. The two had backed a rental van up to a travel trailer, lifted the trailer stairs and removed the tire covers. They then began to remove the hitch lock in order to tow the trailer out of the compound, but noticed that Rayner had seen them. They quickly fled in their van.

Rayner was suspicious of the two because he noticed that the chain securing the RV compound had been cut. He then followed the suspects from Abbotsford to Mission, giving updates to police over his cellphone. The pair were stopped by Mission RCMP and held for Abbotsford Police. Break-in tools were located in the

vehicle. Rayner was commended at the monthly police board meeting for his “observations, clear thinking and quick response,” and for assisting the police in their goal to make Abbotsford “the safest city in British Columbia.” The two suspects were charged and are still before the courts.

Abbotsford Police concluded their Operation Lodestar program this week and are planning two more campaigns. Const. Ian MacDonald said one will likely begin before spring break in March, and the other will follow not long after. He said he could not provide details on the programs, however, he said they will surpass the previous “Operation” campaigns. “These will trump the other ones.” Operation Lodestar was the fourth in a series of programs designed to steer kids away from crime and the gang lifestyle. It consisted of 12 forums for parents, as well as the release of posters showing a young boy wearing gang and prison attire. MacDonald said the program was a “huge success,” with about 2,000 people in total attending the presentations. “Even people who thought they knew what it was to be a good parent ... said they learned something.” The programs began in September 2009 with the Operation Tarnish campaign, which involved the release of 13 posters. That was followed in November of that year by Operation Impact, an audio-visual presentation and talk that began in local high schools and later expanded to include middle schools. Operation Veritas was introduced in April 2010 and consisted of a series of 30-second videos depicting gang-lifestyle situations.

Website relaunch The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce has redesigned its website. The new site (www. abbotsfordchamber. com) features a business directory of chamber members, a chamber and community event calendar, and a detailed overview of the benefit and discount programs available to chamber members. Businesses can now edit their contact details, add a company summary, upload company events and post job openings.

Vacancy rates down

Apartment vacancy rates in Metro Vancouver have dropped slightly to 1.9 per cent, according to the latest rental survey by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. That’s down from 2.1 per cent a year ago. It’s easier to find an apartment in the Abbotsford area, where the vacancy rate is 6.5 per cent. Average rents there climbed 1.5 per cent, with one-bedroom units renting for $655 and two bedrooms going for $785. CMHC senior market analyst Robyn Adamache cited an increase in jobs in the region and a steady influx of new residents. “A slowdown in first-time home buyer activity also contributed to lower vacancy rates as more households remained in the rental market,” she said. While it’s become harder to find purpose-built rental apartments, 3,500 more investor-owned condos have gone into the rental market. Landlords typically raised rents by 2.6 per cent in Metro Vancouver in 2009. The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment climbed to $940, while two-bedroom units now go for an average of $1,195.

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Saturday, January 22, 2011

JOHN VAN PUTTEN

Abbotsford News

Jimmy Hansra’s performance in the B.C. Mainland Cricket League drew the attention of Cricket Canada, and he’s off to the World Cup next month.

World Cup homecoming Jimmy Hansra, born in India, heads home for Cricket World Cup Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

For Jimmy Hansra, Thursday’s announcement that he’d been selected to Canada’s team for the Cricket World Cup officially brought his athletic career full circle. Hansra, a 25-year-old Abbotsford resident, grew up in the Punjab province of India, playing “street cricket” – a descriptor

which evokes parallel images of Canadian kids playing street hockey in cul-de-sacs across the nation. Nothing too formal, makeshift equipment, just kids playing for the love of the game. In February, Hansra will return to India – one of three World Cup host nations along with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh – wearing the maple leaf on his chest.

Hansra takes a swing during a recent training camp in India. “It’s really a dream come true, especially being of Indian descent,” he enthused. “To see the players I grew up watching on television (at the World Cup), I can’t even describe it.

Eat well. Be active. Live tobacco free.

“It’s really an honour to represent your country and play the best of the best.” Hansra’s cricket skills were initially honed in India, but the local cricket scene in Abbotsford

merits a great deal of credit for his ascent to the national team. Hansra moved with his family to Canada 11 years ago, settling first in Penticton before moving to Abbotsford in 2004. It was on the pitch at Exhibition Park that he began to take the sport more seriously. “I didn’t know there was cricket in Canada when I moved here,” he said with a chuckle. “In Penticton, I played soccer. “After we moved to Abbotsford, I went to Rotary Stadium to play soccer one day, and I saw people playing cricket here for the first time. I was like, ‘There’s cricket

in Canada?’” Hansra joined the local B.C. Mainland Cricket League side, and helped the team rapidly progress from Division 4 up to the Premier Division. In 2009, Abbotsford won the Premier championship, and Hansra was named co-winner of the top division’s sportsman of the year award. That success drew the attention of Cricket Canada. Hansra is an allarounder – a player who excels at both batting and bowling – and he made his national team debut two years ago in a game against Kenya in Toronto.

Whatever was spoken behind closed doors in the aftermath of the Abbotsford Heat’s 5-1 loss to the Peoria Rivermen on Tuesday, they were magic words. One night after one of their worst outings of the season, the Heat put together one of their best, blanking the Rivermen 2-0 before 2,382 paying customers at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre on Wednesday. “We got challenged as a team,” Heat forward Jon Rheault said, alluding to the closeddoor meeting that lasted nearly a half-hour following Tuesday’s debacle. “We were told to get here for the game and be ready to play, give whatever it takes, and I think we all took that to heart. “We’re figuring out what it takes to turn things around, and it’s directly related to our emotional attachment to the game and our work ethic. When we play like that, we’re a really good team.” Wednesday’s victory, in many ways, was a stylistic blueprint of how the Heat must play on a regular basis in order to contend for a playoff spot. They were relentlessly physical. They dominated on the forecheck. They blocked a bushel of shots. They converted just enough of their scoring chances. Last but not least, they got lights-out goaltending. Backup keeper J.P. Lamoureux, subbing for Leland Irving, stopped all 22 shots the Rivermen directed his way. His job was made easier by the fact his teammates were directing 37 pucks at the Peoria cage. “Good for him,” Heat head coach Jim Playfair said of Lamoureux, who posted the first AHL shutout of his career. “Leland’s played a lot of hockey, and it’s nice to have a goaltender come in and give him some relief and get a win in the meantime. I thought he played well.” The Heat came charging out of the dressing room and played the entire first period as though they had a burr under their collective saddle, out-shooting Continued on A29

Hansra, Team Canada aim for upsets From A25

Canada ramping up for the World Cup, Hansra became a carded athlete, securing a leave of absence from his job as a structural engineer with a Langley company in order to train and travel with the national team. He participated in a training camp in India in November/December, and played in the Caribbean Twenty20 tournament earlier this month. “It’s a struggle for Canadian athletes to work, stay fit, and compete against the best,” Hansra noted. “Being able to concentrate my full effort on cricket has really helped me a lot.”

Like the soccer World Cup, the International Cricket Council (ICC) championship is held every four years. Hansra said his team’s goal at the World Cup is to advance to the second round. To do that, they’ll need to finish in the top four out of seven teams in Group A, which features big-time cricket nations like Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan. “We want to play good, hard cricket and cause a few upsets,” Hansra said. Team Canada leaves for a pre-World Cup training camp in Dubai on Jan. 26, then heads to Bangladesh on Feb. 8 for tune-up matches against Bangladesh and England.

They open the World Cup Feb. 20 against Sri Lanka. “This year’s been crazy,” Hansra marveled, reflecting on his road to the World Cup. “It’s been a roller-coaster ride, and I’ve learned so much.” Hansra said he hopes his World Cup selection serves to inspire young cricket players in Abbotsford. “We’re trying to encourage all the juniors to take the sport seriously, because opportunities are there,” he said. “I’m the first one on the Canadian team (from Abbotsford), and I’m hoping I’m the first of many. We’ve got a lot of guys in town who can really play.”

Saving you money. We’ve got our best people on it.

The premier event in B.C. agriculture W

elcome to the 13th annual Pacific Agriculture Show. It is the largest and most important agricultural exhibition in the province. It is the premier event for B.C.’s agriculture industry, which is unique in its diversity. The show represents all sectors, from dairy to poultry to livestock, and the wide variety of crops grown within the large scope of horticulture. The world is an uncertain place and it’s important for nations to be able to produce as much of their own food as possible, both for ensuring food safety as well as guaranteed supply. The Pacific Agriculture Show is the place to see all the equipment, technologies and techniques critical to ensuring the continued local production of food. Agriculture is an important industry, a strong contributor to a healthy economy, and a valuable part of the community. For the family, there is the antique farm equipment museum, the popular Aldor Acres petting zoo, Raptor’s Ridge Birds of Prey, and the dairy

classroom on Saturday. So whether you are in the ag industry, or just want to see the stateof-the-art farm equipment on display, you will enjoy your time at the show. Jim Shepard Show Producer

PACIFIC AGRICULTURE SHOW - JANUARY 27, 28, 29, 2011

Something for everyone Annual Pacific Agricultural Show features more exhibitors than ever

he 13th annual Pacific Agriculture Show is coming to Tradex Jan. 27-29. The three-day showcase features something for every aspect of the agriculture industry. This year’s event offers more exhibitors than ever before and includes a wide variety of programs including:

BC Dairy Expo: The day prior to the start of the Pac Ag Show (Jan. 26) is set aside for the annual dairy tours – again being organized by John Luymes from the BC Ministry of Agriculture. On Thursday, Jan. 27, a one-day dairy program will be offered. It focuses on family-farm succession and its inherent problems. It will be presented by Elaine Froese from Boissevain, Manitoba, an acknowledged expert at helping farm families develop their plans. She tackles the tough issues faced by family businesses in today’s global economy. After Froese, Carla DeGroot from the BC Milk Producers Association will provide an update of the DairyPro dairy technician’s course now underway. This program qualifies participants as dairy technicians in their first year and as herdsmen in the second. Jennifer Woods from Blackie, Alberta, rounds out the morning program in which she will outline the best ways to transport dairy cattle to market and things to remember for a safe and healthy trip for your animals.

Many people in the farming industry come to the Pacific Agricultural Show at Tradex in Abbotsford to see state-of-the-art agricultural machinery.

Once again, registered producers and their wives, family, friends and employees are invited to attend the noon banquet sponsored by Meyers Norris Penny. In the afternoon, concurrent sessions start at 1:15 p.m., with Elaine Froese providing tips in the BMO Room, on how to prevent communications disasters in family businesses, while in the Lobby Room, Dr. Victor Lo, a noted researcher and engineer from UBC, will discuss the latest research developments in phosphorus extraction from liquid dairy manure to create “struvite,” a marketable product. There are four more sessions on Friday (Jan. 28) as part of the agri-energy forum. Renewable energy pricing is

the first session, moderated by Sandy Ferguson from the BC Bio Energy Network. The second session focuses on on-farm anaerobic digestion. Chris Bush from Catalyst Power, Bill Vanderkooi from Bakerview EcoDairy, and Mike Raker with agricultural energy consultants, will address this issue. After lunch, Matt Dickson from the BC Agricultural Research and Development Corporation will guide five speakers as they present their renewable agri-energy technologies. The final session features Kim Ross from Farm Credit Canada talking about financing renewable energy projects. Continued on page 4

Robotic milker to be introduced From Page 5

The Pac-Ag Show is an all-encompassing event that includes the Growers Short Course, BC Dairy Expo, an entire day’s programming of specific interest to greenhouse growers, as well as sessions for potato and field vegetable growers. During the annual trade show, the new Lely’s A4 robotic milker will be introduced. West Coast Robotics is displaying the device, which features the revolutionary Astronaut cow box, a walkthrough design called the I-flow concept. It allows the cow to walk straight in and out of the box, eliminating any unnecessary obstacles, and further reducing the threshold for the cow to enter the unit at her own pace. The spacious cow-friendly design and positioning of the cow unit allows for continuous interaction with the rest of the herd, thus eliminating unnecessary stress on the cow. The Astronaut A4 is set up in a modular concept. A central unit features a vacuum and cleaning system for up to two cow units. It is self-contained and a configuration with two cow units can span a distance up to 30 metres which ensures much more freedom and space for the positioning of the units in the barn. The new Lely Astronaut A4 is filled with technology such as a pump transporting the milk to the tank without the use of rotating impellers which can damage the milk. To reduce downtime as much as possible, key wear parts have been changed into easy-to-replace cartridge systems. This, along with other innovative ideas are part of overall trade show that provides farmers with equipment displays and farming aids to help them meet the challenges of producing food and food products in a safe and sustainable environment.

Forum to explore renewable energy R

enewable energy and farming are a winning combination. Globally, farmers are taking advantage of commercially available renewable energy technologies to harness alternative energy sources. This provides farmers with a longterm source of income, creates jobs and keeps energy dollars in the local economy. Renewable energy also contributes to increased environmental sustainability. The 2011 Agri-energy Forum will explore the different commercially available renewable energy technologies, pricing programs on offer in B.C. and financing options available to those interested in building their own renewable energy facility. This forum will help farmers and others involved with the farming community to understand the potential and opportunity to undertake renewable agri-energy projects that improve farm net incomes while enhancing environmental sustainability. This one-day event will be held on Jan. 28 at the Pacific Agriculture Show in the BMO room.

Investing in innovation T

Q Q Q Q Q Q Q

he Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. will be represented at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural show. The foundation strategically invests federal and provincial funds in support of innovative projects to benefit the agri-food industry in British Columbia. Funding is available to help the industry seize new opportunities and deal with emerging issues. Emerging sectors programming was added as a strategic priority at the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AGM in April 2010. This has allowed it to better understand how to fulfill its mission and assist emerging sectors to adapt, diversify and grow. What is an emerging sector? Emerging sectors are those which have: Q Coming business opportunities Q Leadership, vision and capacity to increase sectoral contributions to the provincial economy Q Provincial five-year annual average market receipts of less than $10 million They are characterized by a potential to introduce new production systems, products, markets, standards, processes, management practices or technologies. They may also be recognized by other characteristics like: Q Lacking in capital and cash Q Capturing niche market opportunities Q Responding to societal or consumer values Q Facing more risk

BMO

Q Bridging or overlapping sectors Q Being driven and innovative Q Building social capital What is the Emerging Sectors Initiative? The Emerging Sectors Initiative (ESI) offers emerging sectors with a single window to access the wide range of funding programs the foundation has available. Its main intent is to enable innovation, collaboration and strategic approaches in emerging sectors to identify opportunities, challenges and priorities. It is the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision that support through ESI will

be recognized as a catalyst for the development and sustainability of emerging sectors. Who is eligible? ESI is open to all emerging sectors in the agriculture, agri-food and agribased products industries and also includes those initiatives under the AgriFood Futures Fund that have expired or run out of funding. Some examples are: Q Small scale/lot agriculture Q Natural health products Q Aboriginal agriculture Q Agri-tourism and direct farm marketing

Natural-care agri-based products Bio-products Bioenergy Apiculture Small-scale food processing Women in agriculture Mushroom farming

What types of projects and activities are eligible? Eligible projects will address the gaps in applied scientific knowledge, technology adaptation and transfer, pre-commercialization exploration, skills, business development, collaboration and links with potential partners, in order to seize new business opportunities. When submitting an application for funding, a proposal will need to identify: Q A new business or growth opportunity; Q The needs and strategies to capture that opportunity; Q The major challenges and barriers; Q How the proposed activities will address these challenges and barriers; and Q How this will benefit the agriculture industry and/or Canadians in general ESI is flexible and the foundation will consider appropriate funding ratios according to the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priority level, public good, degree of innovation, risk, rate of return, industry engagement and management. For general inquiries about funding, phone: (250) 356-1662 or email funding@iafbc.ca.

Into agriculture for the long run A

s Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading agriculture lender, Farm Credit Canada is trying to advance the business of agriculture. With a healthy portfolio of more than $19.7 billion and 17 consecutive years of portfolio growth, FCC is strong and stable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; committed to serving the industry through all cycles. FCC provides financing, insurance, software, learning programs and other business services to producers, agri-businesses and agri-food operations. FCC employees are passionate about agriculture and committed to the success of customers and the industry. The purpose of the corporation is to enhance rural Canada by providing specialized and personalized business and financial services and products to farming operations, including family farms, and to those businesses in rural Canada, including small and medium-sized businesses, that are businesses related to farming. The primary focus of the activities of the corporation is on farming operations, including family farms. These are exciting times in agriculture as the industry is constantly changing and evolving. From financing to training and software, community programs and knowledge, our commitment to the agriculture industry remains strong.

FCC believes its public policy role permeates everything the company does. For example, the FCC brand is exemplified by the positioning line, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Advancing the business of agriculture.â&#x20AC;? This illustrates the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belief that agriculture, including the full value chain, is a business. It tells people that FCC is a visionary organization committed to helping producers and business operators succeed in a complex agriculture industry. FCC serves Canadian agriculture as the leading provider of financing to the industry since 1959. The organization puts its focus on the primary producer as well as suppliers and processors along the agricultural value chain. It provides customers with flexible, competitively priced financing, equity, insurance, management software, information and learning. These services help customers make sound business decisions and experience greater success. FCC takes time to get to know customers, their individual needs, goals and vision for the future. It works with them through challenges and helps them pursue opportunities. As the FCC says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture. We know it. We love it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in it for the long run.â&#x20AC;?
