the upcoming fiscal period was adopted. 
 
Trustee Peterson reported the following: 
• Attended discussions at the Community Hall on October 19 and November 23 
regarding the draft Trust Policy Statement and noted that a suggestion to change 
the preamble from stating the Policy Statement “may” establish different 
policies to “must” establish different policies can not be changed as the term 
“may” is used in the Islands Trust Act. It was also noted that the sub-regional 
approach of establishing different policies in different parts of the Trust Area 
should have been undertaken at the beginning of the project, and while the duty 
to consult First Nations is held by the Crown, the Ministry that approves Islands 
Trust bylaws has indicated Trust Council must ensure engagement with the 
public and First Nations is undertaken;
