COLONY FARMS
(ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMITTEE MEETING
JANUARY 22, 1991)

RECOMMENDATIONS s

That Colony Farm be preserved as open green space in perpetuity.
That Mr. Robert E. Collis, Executive Director of the British

Columbia Racing Commission be advised of Council's resolution on
this matter.

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:

The Environmental Protection Committee considered the matter of Colony Farm at
its meetings of January 9, 1991 and January 2, 1991. Mr. Paul Dutton, on
behalf of, POCO CITIZENS FOR COLONY FARMS, presented considerable details on
the history of Colony Farm and the provincial governments various attempts to
alther develop or dispose of the land. The information is extremely thorough
and informative and is attached to this report.

From the Committee's research it would appear that environmentalists and
interested groups consider this area to be environmentally sensitive and ideal
to preserve in a green state. Committee supports this belief and asks
Councils support in approving the resolution designating the area as green
space in perpetuity.

C.F. (Kip) Gaudry, P. Eng.
Deputy City Engineer
