PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
Proposed Bylaw No. 235
Raptor Nest Mapping Development Permit Area Project
The North Pender Island Local Trust Committee invites the public to attend a Public Hearing beginning at 10:00 
am, Friday, April 10, 2026, St. Peter’s Anglican Church Hall, 4703 Canal Road, North Pender Island, to hear 
your views regarding Proposed Bylaw No. 235.
A Community Information Meeting will be held before the Public Hearing for you to learn more about the bylaw 
and to ask questions.
What is Proposed Bylaw No. 235 about?
If adopted, proposed Bylaw No. 235 would replace the current Official Community Plan No. 171 (OCP) 
Development Permit Area 7 Raptor and Heron Nests (DPA 7) section with an amended section that updates 
DPA 7 provisions. The update will better align with more recent provincial best practices for raptor and heron 
conservation, and replaces the existing Schedule O map with a new Schedule O map showing proposed 
updated nest tree locations and their associated buffer areas based on provincial guidelines.
How Do I Get More Information?
Copies of the proposed bylaw including the Schedule O map showing proposed nest site locations and their 
associated buffer areas, the Public Hearing Binder, and other information is available online from March 27, 
2026 to April 9, 2026 here: https://islandstrust.bc.ca/island-planning/north-pender/projects/ and at the Islands 
Trust Victoria Office, 200-1627 Fort Street, Victoria, BC V8R 1H8 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding
