Agritech projects, training will strengthen B.C. agriculture British Columbia will soon have nearly 200 new jobs and hundreds more people trained in science and technology to enhance food security and strengthen the provincial economy.

“Our province is home to vibrant agriculture and technology sectors, and our government is standing strong to keep them safe during times of global uncertainty,” said Diana Gibson, B.C.’s Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation. “Through the B.C. Centre for Agritech Innovation (BCCAI), our government is bolstering our economy and leveraging our strengths to help local agritech and agrifood businesses bring more B.C. goods to market, advance food security and create good jobs for people by growing industry here at home.”

The 19 new projects and nine training programs represent a total investment of more than $15 million, including nearly $5 million in support from the BCCAI matched with more than $2 million cash and more than $8 million in-kind from industry. These projects will focus on helping companies scale up their technology and create more made-in-B.C. solutions with B.C. farmers and deliver more opportunities for training and upskilling, creating a stronger, more resilient agriculture industry.

“Across British Columbia, forward-thinking innovators are developing technology that is transforming agriculture in our province,” said Harjit S. Sajjan, federal Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada (PacifiCan). “By partnering with the B.C. Centre for Agritech Innovation, the Government of Canada is supporting local food producers, strengthening our supply chains and growing a skilled workforce.”

growing towers. This project will enable yearround growing by minimizing energy costs during the cold weather seasons, allowing for continuous and efficient crop production.”

The Foxy Produce project’s technology is expected to lead to the creation of approximately 60 jobs and to a 30% increase in revenue by creating fresh B.C.-grown food for less energy.

“Supporting our province’s food producers and agritech innovators is critical to building a sustainable, local food supply, as well as contributing to new jobs and economic growth in B.C.,” said Lana Popham, B.C.’s Minister of Agriculture and Food. “Through our partnership with the BC Centre for Agritech Innovation, we are helping small and medium-sized businesses develop new technologies and tools to support farmers and enhance food security for British Columbians.”

Other projects supported by the BCCAI include training opportunities with partnering organizations, such as the BC Blueberry Council (BCBC) and the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), which will help food producers be more resilient to climate change and create a stronger food supply in B.C.

In addition to BCBC and UFV training, Indigenous people will receive upskilling and training opportunities in horticulture, Indigenous agriculture, drone-based mapping and business mentorship through Tea Creek, an The funding includes a $1.2-million project Indigenous employment and training service with Foxy Produce Ltd., which operates based in Kitwanga. a produce store in North Vancouver and a farm in Aldergrove.

Any hectic activity that has just started to You are in a good position to make some final decisions on something you may have first considered late July to mid August. The position of somebody else may be clearer now, particularly if they decide to bring something to an end. If this does happen it can make it easier in some way when it comes to normal routines in life.

Whatever you had to rethink when it comes to putting things in place since mid August will now allow you to be clear of mind to late September when it comes to something that might have been first discussed late July to mid August. You can now make decisions that please you. Don’t be tempted to spend too much though.

Someone else can be very straightforward as to what they either like or expect from you.

Be careful you don’t read into this more than is being offered, particularly if there is an expectation for you to take on responsibilities or to put things in place. Make decisions up to late September that will keep you in control of your finances.

You are in an excellent position to be able to make decisions to late September that will take your life forward. You can feel as though you have greater personal choice or some control at last. There might be a second stage to this from January to April next year and for this reason it could be wise to ensure there is some flexibility.

Whatever financial decisions you may have first considered from late July to mid August can now be looked at more thoroughly, especially in relation to the best actions to take to be able to move forward. You need to be able to satisfy your own priorities, which may not necessarily fit in with the expectations of somebody else.

Focus on anything you are determined to develop more for your own independence in the future. You can realise that contemplation alone will not move things forward. From now to early September you need to look at the commitments that would need to be taken on. Doing this in stages will help you to get used to the changes.

You are in a good position to come to realisations regarding any situations where you might feel as though you are taking on more than is reasonable on a regular basis. This is more about making decisions to bring matters to an end where commitments attached will have an inhibiting effect on possible future accomplishments.

You could come to the realisation, from now to late September, that it is better to scale down ideas you might have had late July to mid August to be able to take these things into the future successfully. Others might have bigger ambitions but you can be happier with small steps, allowing you to have a feeling of better control.

Having absolute confidence about how you stand on any matter will engender respect from others, even though they may not fully agree with you. This could result in clarity when it comes to commitment and support, which may have been an issue from late July to mid August and was left hanging.

Be mindful of the obligations you take on.

You are in a position to late September to contemplate future plans and possibilities that you may have wanted from late July to mid August but could not finalise. You have the opportunity to engage with others and get a response. This could also have a lot to do with leaving the past behind up to 20th November so you can move on with a new life direction.

Something you thought had become evident since mid August where someone else’s decision making is concerned could again become more unknown to late September. It could be that they need to withdraw to make final decisions. These could involve taking your priorities into account as well as generating some sort of pleasure in life.

Something that wasn’t made perfectly clear or finalised by somebody else between late July and mid August can now return to late September where final decisions need to be made by them. It can be up to you to ensure they do not avoid responsibilities that could leave you with too much to get properly organised or put into place.

In Loving Memory of Sardarni Balvinder Kaur Gill

July 29, 1944 - February 19, 2025 Sardarni Balvinder Kaur Gill, born in the village of Chuharchuk on July 29th 1944, the youngest daughter of Late Subedar Major Sardar Bhajan Singh Kaler and Late Sardarni Kishan Kaur Kaler. She shared a childhood home with her six older siblings, The Late Sardarni Harbans Kaur, Late Sardar Harbans Singh, Late Sardar Inderjit Singh, Late Sardarni Gurcharan Kaur, Late Sardar Ranjit Singh and Sardarni Ranjit Kaur.

On November 19th 1962, she married her beloved Late Sardar Satpal Singh Gill from village Kokri Kalan.

Balvinder is survived by her sister Sardarni Ranjit Kaur Sidhu, Wife of Sardar Gurmail Singh Sidhu, and sister-in-law Sardarni Surjit Kaur Claire, Wife of the Late Sardar Ranjit Singh Claire. She was a devoted mother to her four children: daughter, Gurpreet Kaur Grewal, wife of Prithipal Singh Grewal; grand-daughter Sabreena Kaur, wife of Jaswant Singh Sunner, and proud great-grandmother to Zienna Isha Kaur; son Hirdeypal Singh Gill, husband of Gurmit Kaur Gill, and loving grandmother to Abhaijeet Solomon Singh, Vaibhav Victoria Kaur, Jaimohit Lucas Singh, Gurkirit Aysha Kaur, and Harkirit Alisha Kaur, who she now joins in Heaven; daughter Sukhjeet Kaur Brar, wife of Bhupinder Singh Brar, and grandmother to Rakhvir Jasmine Kaur and Jeevan Singh; daughter Satvinder Kaur Sandhu, wife of Shere Sartaj Singh Sandhu. She is also lovingly remembered by her many nieces and nephews, whose lives she’s touched with her warmth and kindness.

Balvinder’s youthful spirit was nothing short of exuberant. As the youngest in her household, she was surrounded by the unwavering love and care of her older siblings, who nurtured and cherished her.

Known for her sass and charm, she was a lively presence in her family from an early age. Her youth was marked by not only academic success but also athletic achievements.

In 1971, her husband made the courageous move to Canada to prepare a home for their family. In 1972, she undertook her own brave journey, traveling internationally alone with their three youngest children, aged 5 and below, to reunite with him. Their eldest daughter joined in 1974, completing the family’s new life together in Canada.

In her earlier years, she was a dedicated volunteer at the Gurudwara, fostering a strong sense of community and tradition. Weekends were often spent at the temple, volunteering, connecting with others, and bringing her children along to share in those meaningful moments. In Winnipeg, she became a beloved and familiar presence, known for her kindness and compassion that touched countless lives.

Balvinder had an eye for life’s beauty, a love for hosting, feeding her loved ones, and an appreciation for fine food and timeless elegance. Her vibrant personality was perfectly mirrored in her impeccable sense of style. She lived a full and passionate life, always surrounded by family, friends, weekend gatherings, and every celebration life could offer.

Social by nature, she moved through life with warmth and charm, but her truest joy came from watching her children and grandchildren thrive, whether it was a celebrated achievement, a personal milestone, or an exciting new adventure. Her generosity and warmth reached beyond her own family, as she lovingly cared for the children of friends and extended family, always ready to offer her time, support, and a comforting presence.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the BC Cancer Foundation in her name.

Scan the QR code below to visit Balvinder';s Tribute donation page and support the BC Cancer Foundation

Funeral service funeral service will be held at 12:00 PM on March 1st at Fraser River Funeral Home, 2061 Riverside Road, Abbotsford.

Prayers will follow at Gurudwara Khalsa Diwan Society, 33094 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford.
