2day water & emergency feed for farm animals continued to be a high priority. We airdropped 4 tons of feed to a hog farm in Abbotsford to feed about 4,000 to 5,000 hogs. Thank-U so much to our staff who continue to work around the clock & who are doing the best they can.

I’m not a Doctor. I’m not a scientist. I depend on those who are to guide us. I trust Dr. Bonnie Henry to know what health decisions need to be made when it comes to the pandemic. I also thank her for the personal sacrifice she has made for us.

Can’t really visit a farm in BC without meeting some amazing seasonal workers that come to BC to help us out! These guys are from Mexico, here for orchard work. These folks deserve r respect & appreciation! we can’t have a thriving agriculture sector here without them!
