Agricultural Land Reserve
Okay, so imagine you have a big bag of candy. You love to eat candy, but you also know that if you eat it all at once, you'll get sick. So, you decide to save some of your candy for later, in case you need it.
Now, let's say that the candy represents land in our province. Just like you want to save some candy for later, the government of our province wants to save some land for farming in the future.
This is where the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) comes in. The ALR is a big concept that means the government has set aside a certain amount of land in our province for farming. This land is protected by law, which means that it can't be used for anything else – like building houses, factories or even a park.
To protect the ALR, the government has created rules that say what can and can't be done on the land. For example, farmers can grow crops, graze livestock, and build barns and other structures. But they can't do things like drill for oil or build a mall.
The idea behind the ALR is to make sure that we always have enough land for farming in the future. Just like you saved your candy for later, the government is saving land for farmers to use when they need it. The ALR is a way of making sure that we can always grow our own food and be self-sufficient in our province.
