1. CALL TO ORDER 
 
Director Marlor called the meeting to order at 6:33 p.m. at which time quorum was not 
achieved as only two members of the Committee were present: Trustee Gauvreau and Lisa 
Nissinen. Director Marlor indicated that the meeting would continue but that no decisions or 
directions from the Committee could be made unless quorum is achieved. 
 
Trustee Gauvreau acknowledged that attendees of the meeting were in locations across the 
ancestral and unceded territories of many indigenous communities whose connection to these 
lands spans many generations. 
 
Director Marlor stated that an Accessibility Committee is required of local government, 
including Islands Trust, by British Columbia legislation (Accessible British Columbia Act). The 
purpose of the Committee is to assist Islands Trust to identify, remove and prevent barriers to 
individuals in or interacting with the organization. Furthermore, Islands Trust must develop an 
accessibility plan in that regard and must review and update that accessibility plan at least once 
every three years.
