Certainly. The PFRA is a famous institution, at least in western Canada. That includes parts of British Columbia, such as the Peace country and the Okanagan, which the PFRA was responsible for. The PFRA was probably the most respected government agency that you could imagine, including in the rural Prairies.
It was created in response to the drought of the 1930s, so scholars often refer to the PFRA as perhaps the best example in the entire world of an institutional adaptation to climate change. It existed to rehabilitate prairie farms and it succeeded, and, like a good government agency, it found another mandate. Once they had rehabilitated prairie farming, they expanded into water, infrastructure, irrigation, and rural development in general. As I said, it was an iconic institution on the Prairies and was shut down about five years ago.
