We did it!

The Garnet Valley Agri-Tourism Association (GVATA) has successfully challenged the BC Mines Ministry, bringing a halt to industrial gravel extraction in Garnet Valley. This is a meaningful win for our land, our farms, and our future, and it would not have been possible without the incredible energy, dedication, and collaboration of our small but deeply committed community. Read more about this below.

This victory belongs to all of us. To the neighbours who showed up, the voices that spoke out, and the collective belief that Garnet Valley is worth protecting.

Now, we’d love to come together to celebrate. Join us for an afternoon of connection, gratitude, and community. It’s a chance to gather with friends and neighbours, raise a glass, and take a moment to recognize what we’ve accomplished together.
