Hello all,
The pre-holiday and holiday season was very busy this year. Consequently, this blog finds itself here, with no specific topics, but mention of a couple that came up over the last finite period of time.
The news of the local municipality agreement on the 'parks model' was welcome news. Although we aren't going into specific detail, the lands proposed for parks are all generally desirable. We shall have more information in the new year as more is determined from the process that is underway. Revisitation to the O.C.P. will be blogged here in the new year among other subjects.
In regards with the meat regulations, it is disappointing to not have any official publication from the Provincial Minister of Agricultural, Mr. Norm Letnick. (Concerning the "Class D & E" licenses issuance, in the Okanagan Valley.) Although nothing has come in 2012 we hope that it is one of the newly written topics of 2013.
As the minister himself encourages "buyling local" produce (including "meats".) http://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/letters-to-the-editor/buying-local-is-the-best-deal-122412.html (dated Dec.24th, 2012.)

These two topics are the ones we have blogged about for now. We shall 'sign-off' in 2012 with best wishes for the holiday season. May everyone have an enjoyable, safe, "Happy New Year".
See you in 2013...
