Subject: Agricultural Land Reserve Exclusion - 31380 Lougheed Highway
I have recently received information regarding the ALR exclusion application for
31380 Lougheed Highway.
Attached are:
1. A copy of a letter from the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) regarding an
ALR exclusion application for 31380 Lougheed Highway - Illahae Farms.
2. A letter from the owner of the subject property, Mr. Kalvan Gill
Related to this matter, council adopted resolution 08/959 on November 17, 2008,
as follows:
"That Agricultural Land Reserve application ALR08-003 (Gill/Illahae Dairy
Farms) for exclusion of the property located at 31380 Lougheed Highway
and legally described as:

of the South West Quarter Section 19 and of the Fractional North West
Quarter Section 18, Township 17 Except; Firstly: Part on Statutory Right of

In Mr. Gill's letter he notes that he has reclaimed 102 acres of agricultural land on
the north side of Lougheed Highway, west of Nelson Street. The ALC letter
indicates that is sees this as an act of good faith in support of the application.
The ALC also notes that before moving forward, it requires information from the
District with respect to its review of industrial land needs. Council is currently
reviewing this matter. However
