Signs Your Armstrong Records Are Overdue for Secure Destruction
- Filing drawers that no longer close, or boxes stacked in a shop, barn, or spare bedroom
- Payroll stubs, SIN records, or spray-application logs past their retention window
- Decades of dairy or poultry paperwork in a Spallumcheen outbuilding
- Tax returns, bank statements, and estate documents from a cleared home
- IPE-season files, vendor contracts, and volunteer lists boxed up after each fair
Why Records Build Up on Pleasant Valley Properties
Records pile up because no deadline ever forces a purge. Farm paperwork outlasts any retention policy until an audit, a sale, or an estate forces a decision.
Pleasant Valley dairy and poultry farms generate payroll files, pesticide records, and supplier invoices every year. The Ministry of Agriculture and AgSafe BC set defined retention schedules. Once those windows close, old records carry liability, not value.
CRA requires business and tax records kept six years from the end of the tax year. BC PIPA requires secure disposal of any record holding personal information once it is no longer needed.
| Cause | Why It Happens Here | What to Look For |
|---|---|---|
| Farm employment records | Seasonal payroll kept past the AgSafe window. | Personnel files, SIN documents, time sheets. |
| Household financial papers | Retirees hold decades of tax and bank records. | Boxes in closets, spare rooms, garages. |
| Event and association files | IPE organizer records grow every fair season. | Vendor contracts, volunteer and member lists. |
| Supplier records | Invoices sit past the CRA six-year mark. | Untouched filing drawers in shop offices. |
