I don't think these "estate homes" (1 acres lots) are being built by Dukhobours. I agree that it is not a simple problem to define - who are the stakeholders? Is this a decision that is bigger than Ootischenia, Castlegar or Lemon Creek? I think so. If there is a defined need for sustainable agriculture and food production in the area and the Province has already tightened down the screws regarding what constitutes a suitable facility - I think the Kootenays could do with a small scale facility. It's not going to be a feedlot - rather a Co-op facility.
