Amazing how fast the year goes by, we welcome the blogspot "poster" back from her holidays from the Southern Hemisphere.
Issue of recent development is the "BX Ranch Property" that has been listed for sale.
http://www.bennetto.ca/index.php/listings/lots-acreages/4122-east-vernon-road
It is significant in size at 166 acres of flat, irrigated (although one corner has birds that visit in the 'marsh-like' area which implies a water source.) It is in the Agricultrual Land Reserve but this wouldn't stop urban development (of some sort in our personal opinion.)
Many possible uses of this land area as a park could include:
- Some land for Community Gardens use;
- Land for People's recreation (walking, jogging, picnics, bandshell??? etcetera);
- Portion for equestrian exercise;
- Portion (near 39th Ave) for the wild birds (and Frogs) which could be viewed at a distance with binoculars.
