Greetings! Trust Council will be held in Nanaimo on September 24-26. Council will discuss the Section 3 Object. It will also discuss a potential request to the Province of British Columbia to conduct a review of the Islands Trust Act as well as potential revisions to the draft Policy Statement. In addition, the draft of the 2025-2028 Islands Trust Strategic Plan will return to Trust Council for consideration of approval.

   

Members of Executive Committee and other trustees will be attending the Union of BC Municipalities on September 16-20. This is an opportunity to make requests and ask questions of Provincial Ministers and staff, as well as MLAs from all parties. It is also an opportunity to workshop, learn, and network with staff, advocates, and other elected officials from jurisdictions across BC. Topics will include housing, costs of climate change, disaster mitigation, wildfire prevention, and more.

   

The next meeting of the Lasqueti Local Trustee Committee will be October 21st. We will be discussing our OCP project, and likely will be considering a rezoning application from City West for the fibre optic Connected Coast project. Please consider attending if you can.

 

As always, please feel free to contact your trustees with your questions, comments, or concerns.  tpeterson@islandstrust.bc.ca 250-607-7094.
