Dear Mr. Dutton and Ms Wilcox:

Thank you for your recent letters and petition
regarding the Colony Farm property.

I have been advised by my colleague, the
Honourable Carol Gran, Minister of Government Management
Services, and Minister Responsible for the British
Columbia Buildings Corporation, the owner of the Property,
that no final decision has been made with respect to the
use of the property. :

I am pleased to advise that most of the acreage
of Colony Farm has been leased to North American Lamb
Marketing Inc. for the past two years so that a
continuation of the property's agricultural tradition has
been maintained. Also, the British Columbia Buildings :
Corporation has undertaken a number of important Beate
initiatives to preservé the environmental and wildlife
aspects of this property, including:

The Corporation has registered environmental
covenants which establish both setbacks from the
Coquitlam River and Mundy Creek as well as
minimum elevations of structures used for
habitation, business and storage. The owner is
also prohibited from causing siltation.
