After a long hiatus, CFAC was reconvened on June 19, 2025. The GA chair attended and heard from the other participants about plans and activities to bolster the image of the Central Experimental Farm and the perception of its value in the general population. The GA considers the Farm as a very valuable major urban greenspace and is dedicated to its preservation. Of direct interest to the GA is the news that the working group that was supposed to be struck to study how to mitigate the shadowing of research fields by new high rise development projects on the perimeter of the Farm has finally been constituted, with the City having hired a consultant to represent its positions. We will follow up on the work of this working group through the office of Councillor Riley Brockington, whose staff direction gave rise to the formation of such a group.
