Improtant BC Survey!!!

Posted on April 6, 2010 at 3:25 PM

Just a reminder to all out there. This is very important! If you look at the statistics on horses back when the last survey was taken it is SOOOOO different now. There is little comparison. They need this info people.

That and with the new Olympic Win the Podium fund money still avaliable the horse people are on the list to receive some. They need to know how strong and important we are. Lets not go un-noticed ok!!


And I will admit that it really truly does help the park as it is government land and the FVRD relies on funds from them to improve us.

SO!


The Deadline is April 30th!!


What is the state of BC's Horse Industry?Horse Council BC in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands is embarking on a province wide "Horse Industry Study". The purpose of this study is to determine the current status of BC's horse industry and estimate its economic benefits and value to our economy.

This study will focus on a broad scope of businesses and services in BC directly and indirectly related to the horse industry. The changing perspective of agriculture and livestock among the general public has a direct impact on issues such as environmental stability and animal welfare. These issues are important to all horse people and must be addressed through valid and acceptable strategies by equine industry stakeholders.  

Please take the time to complete this VERY important survey. Your input is extremely valuable and this is your opportunity to have a say in the direction you want to see BC's equine industry grow.

All information will be kept strictly confidential. Please forward this survey to every horse owner, professional or equine service provider you know!


Take This Study  


If you or someone you know  would like to complete this study, but do not have access to the Internet please contact Kelly Coughlin, Manager Industry, at 1-800-345-8055.
