British Columbia Wine Grape Council fonds in UBC AtoM
The British Columbia Wine Grape Council (BCWGC) was approved through a plebiscite in 2006, supported and backed by the British Columbia Wine Grape Industry and the Minister of Agriculture and Lands, Pat Bell. This in turn led to the creation of the Council under the Farming & Fisheries Act of British Columbia. The BCWGC was given the authority to collect levies on all grapes grown or purchased in Mainland British Columbia which is used primarily for the purpose of research and development as well as educational projects. They also deal with organizations regarding water, pest, land, and air issues. The BCWGC’s mandate is to coordinate and fund research on enology and viticulture to help British Columbia’s wine industry, to represent growers, as well as to develop a strong wine grape industry to increase the economic and environmental benefits to British Columbia.
Fonds demonstrates research efforts between 1992 and 2015 that preceded and were taken up by the BCWGC concerning enology, viticulture, climate, wildlife and pest control and health and safety. Records include workbooks, booklets, correspondence, emails, reports, proposals, financial records (including invoices, receipts, statements, and accounts), newsletters, and meeting minutes.
