Mayor Gregor Robertson lends support to UBC Farm, flags peak oil

Mayor Gregor Robertson again touched on peak oil as an issue when he recorded a video address in support of the UBC Farm.

Friends
of
the
UBC
Farm
had
just
led
a
successful
Great
Farm
Trek
from
the

Student

Union
Building
to
the

24-hectare

farm that afternoon.

Supporters had

just spent months
encouraging
university governors to remove the site from the

community planning process.

This has increased the likelihood that the farm

will be saved.
