Athiana Acres — Attraction in Richmond

They have absolutely zero respect for their neighbours or the neighborhood. This was a very tranquil community without the sounds of beeping trucks and excavators at 7:00 in the morning before they arrived. ALR land zoning gives them a lot of freedom regarding noise but doesn’t give them the right to disregard their neighbours and their wellbeing. Hosting private events with loud music, beating drums and singing for hours well pass 11 pm. Totally ridiculous!

What about the extremely loud exercise class and music and people talking and cheering at 8 am on Saturday? The loud thumping music, people talking, cars, went on past midnight.

Constant machines running, overuse of power tools for frequent maintenance (creating both noise and fume pollution) that borders on being needless because of how often it happens, occurrences of yelling, fireworks, other special events, projecting music into an open field, use of insanely bright spotlights, and general noise. This behaviour is not only rude and inconsiderate to the thousands of people who live in the area, but can also be potentially very damaging to the animals that depend on the area for habitation. This is not sustainable and not how AG land...

I stopped by the Athiana Acres pop up at Le Crocodile to pick up a harvest box. They hadn’t arrived yet, but Kalen took my number and offered to text me when they arrived. He let me know when the boxes had arrived and walked one to my building instead of me having to go back. He also included some extra floral stems- it was a lovely surprise.
