Agricultural Service Board

Meeting Minutes

The Agricultural Service Board meets on average four (4) times per year. 

The first meeting of the Agricultural Service Board was held in May 1952 and was formed to act as an advisory board to Council on agricultural related matters, such as weed control, pest control, and soil conservation. The Manager of Agricultural Services, an employee of the Municipality, ensures compliance with these Provincial acts: the Weed Control Act, the Soil Conservation Act and the Pest Control Act.

The Board is comprised of two Councillor members and up to 6 members at large from the Municipality. The Board meets every couple of months with the Manager of Agricultural Services, as well as members attending Regional and Provincial ASB Conferences.

If ratepayers of the MD have any questions or concerns relating to agriculture and environment, please feel free to contact the Manager of Agricultural Services, Nasar Iqbal, at 780-338-3845.
