ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — The British Columbia government says a new $20-million flood mitigation program for the Fraser Valley will help support farmers and food resiliency in prime agricultural areas that were inundated by floodwaters in November 2021.
A statement from the Agriculture Ministry says the funding will be used for community-scale projects that protect and restore local ecosystems and wetlands, such as culvert improvements, embankment stabilization and crop diversification.
Agriculture Minister Pam Alexis says climate change is expected to bring more frequent and intense flooding to"the biggest agricultural growing region" in B.C., so it's important to take action now in the Fraser Valley.
