Résumé This Act contains 55 articles. It provides for the establishment of a Provincial Agricultural Land Commission in articles 2, 3, 4 and 8. The Commission is for all purposes an agent of the Government. Its objectives and powers are set out in article 10 and are as follows, to (a) preserve agricultural land, (b) encourage the establishment and maintenance of farms, and the use of land in an agricultural land reserve compatible with agricultural purposes, (c) assist municipalities and regional districts in the preparation of land reserve plans required under this Act, and (d) encourage municipalities, regional districts, first nations and ministers, ministries and agents of the governments of British Columbia and Canada to support and accommodate farm use of agricultural land in their bylaws, plans and policies. Moreover the Commission has the power, by itself or in cooperation with the entities to acquire and dispose of property. The mechanism used by the Commission to achieve these objectives is by adopting by bylaw a land reserve plan only after a regional board or municipal council has held a public hearing, having complied with the prescribed Notice in article 12. A "land reserve plan" means a plan prepared under this Act according to the regulations and sets out the areas that, subject to the approval of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, may be designated by the Commission as an agricultural land reserve; exclusions are provided for in article 14.
