Abstract: We show that every minimal, free action of the group $ \mathbb{Z}^{2}$ on the Cantor set is orbit equivalent to an AF-relation. As a consequence, this extends the classification of minimal systems on the Cantor set up to orbit equivalence to include AF-relations, $ \mathbb{Z}$-actions and $ \mathbb{Z}^{2}$-actions.
