Introduction
The island is home to Metro Vancouver's Barnston Island Regional Park, which offers scenic riverside rest areas and protects important riparian habitat. Barnston Island is within the traditional territory of the Katzie First Nation and was settled by Europeans in the mid-1800s.
Agricultural Context
Records from the Barnston Island Farmers' Institute minutes show that farmers voted to petition the provincial government for improved ferry service frequently between 1915 and 1970. One of the main features of Barnston Island living and farming is reliance on a ferry. small to enter the island.
Environmental Context
Agricultural capability Barnston Island is generally excellent (Figure 7), with most soils listed as Classes 2 to 5 in their unimproved conditions with limitations mainly due to excess water, and often improvable to begin with (Classes 1, 2 or 3 )39. The Metro Vancouver region, within which Barnston Island is located, is expected to continue to be affected by climate change.
Opportunities for Barnston Island Agriculture
The soil and climate are suitable for growing vegetables, and potatoes were grown on the island in the past. For example, Qualicum Cheeseworks on Vancouver Island processes all the milk produced on the farm into cheese.
Potential Partnerships
There are several markets in nearby Surrey and Langley that can be accessed by Barnston Island producers. Initial outreach to the representatives of academic institutions and non-governmental organizations indicates a high level of interest in partnering with Metro Vancouver and/or other Barnston Island landowners on shared food and farming initiatives.
Policy Context
There are recommended actions in the Action Plan that support the recommendations of the Agricultural Area Plan for Barnston Island. Agriculture: Protect the island as part of the ALR and work with the ALC, Ministry of Agriculture.

Record Names in Minutes, if Requested
This means that the minutes will record the names of committee members or board members who have voted no, but only if they request this. The disadvantage of this option is that it may take a few extra minutes for the Chair and staff to ensure an accurate tally of the names of those who voted no, and may not accurately reflect all those who actually voted no.
Record Names in Minutes: Committee and Board
Because this option is only a practice at this time, the Board may wish to direct staff to amend the Rules of Procedure to include it as a formal provision. The benefit of this option is that it puts the decision on the member whether they want their downvote to be recorded or not.
Record Names in Minutes: Board Only
