THE NEWS/opinion Published and printed by Black Press at 22328 – 119th Avenue, Maple Ridge, B.C., V2X 2Z3
At the heart
No final decision has been made yet, but com-
ments from the south coast panel of the Agricultural
Land Commission last week indicate that the Pelton
property won’t be taken out of the reserve.
That’s good for the Kanaka business park, which is
built but still pretty much empty, and the new busi-
ness park being built near the airport in Pitt Mead-
ows. We’re not sure what this means for the Albion
flats, which is still in the planning stages but could
include an industrial component.
But overall, we think it’s good for Maple Ridge.
Leaving the Pelton’s 152 acres in the agricultural
land reserve not only preserves potential farmland,
but that around it – historical and active farms run
by the Laity, Hampton and Davison families, original
settlers.
This area, close to the dikes and featuring an abun-
dance of wildlife and dark rich soil, is the true heart
of Maple Ridge.
Also, such a decision – to keep it farmland – would
show that the land commission can’t be fooled by a
council that tried to pull a fast one on its constituents
– pushing through the application at warp speed with
no public consultation. Council tried to tell residents
what was good for them without asking what they
wanted; it was a transparent and insincere effort to
help the Pelton family get more rich quick.
Council boasted that such a park on the Pelton
land would generate tax revenue and provide jobs,
but there were no assurances that those jobs would
go to local residents. There was no measure for the
community to have a say in what could be done with
the land had it come out of the reserve. It was never
demonstrated that there was even demand for such
a park.
The Pelton family, which has provided good pay-
ing jobs for many in this community for 40 years,
can’t be faulted for trying. But this council should be
