Provincial and Federal Opportunities

There are often public engagement surveys conducted by the Provincial and Federal Government that affect Parkland County residents. 

Help shape the future of farm workplace legislation

Farms and ranches operate differently than other employers in Alberta. The previous government’s Bill 6 was passed with limited public input and in the face of strong opposition from farmers. This government will repeal Bill 6 and introduce the Farm Freedom and Safety Act after a period of extensive consultation.

In response to initial discussions with agriculture organizations, the government will seek input on:

• Recognizing that a farm is unlike other businesses, and that farmers and ranchers require flexibility in meeting workplace standards
• Requiring employers to have workplace insurance but allowing a choice of market insurance or the Workers’ Compensation Board, if basic coverage standards are met
• Exempting small farms from employment standards legislation, similar to New Brunswick
• Promoting education and best practices to improve farm safety
• Minimizing red tape and reducing the regulatory burden on farmers and ranchers, while still ensuring basic safety standards

Take the online survey today!

The online survey is open until August 31, 2019
