Your Neighbours
The families who first settled in Camrose County recognized the potential of the land, and agriculture became an important part of Camrose County’s economy and culture.
Choosing to live in a rural setting among farm and ranch families, you can expect to share the benefits and challenges of rural living.
Understanding your agricultural neighbours will help you to be a good neighbour in our rural community.
The Alberta Agricultural Operation Practices Act (AOPA) specifies generally accepted agricultural practices and states that agricultural operators cannot be considered a nuisance while preforming these practices. The Act provides guidelines that producers must operate within to mitigate odour, noise, dust, smoke, and other disturbances resulting from an agricultural operation.
