UBC Farm on Breakfast TV

Category: Mina's Posts

Two days ago, on Friday, Breakfast Television did a live program on UBC Farm and the predicament it is in. Since I have been both one of the kids in the Landed Learning Project and one of the volunteers at the FarmWonders summer camp, I got an approximately-ten-second interveiw. The previous week I had helped get kids to come so they could be ‘working’ in the background to sort of give a feel for what it was like to be on the farm. Also, kids were working in the background because the children’s program would be cut under all three of the solutions UBC proposed. One of the ideas the UBC Farm-ers had was to put the farm in the agricultural land reserve, a quickly diminishing quota of should-be protected farms. I sure hope the farm gets saved.

    Mina,
    You did an amazing job on breakfast television. You managed to pack quite a bit in the little time they gave you.
    Hope the farm lives in its current place and size.
