Islands Trust Announces New Local Trust Committee Chairs 
 
Lək̓ ʷəŋən, METULIYE/Victoria, B.C. – On March 18, 2025, Islands Trust Chair Laura Patrick confirmed that, 
following the resignation of former Chair Peter Luckham, local trust committee chair appointments will remain 
unchanged except for Chair Patrick taking over as Chair for the Gabriola Island and Gambier Island Local Trust 
Committees, which were formally chaired by Peter Luckham.  
 
The Island Trust Chair appoints the chairs for each of the 12 local trust committees within the Islands Trust Area, in 
accordance with the Islands Trust Act. Local trust committee chairs are selected from among the four members of 
the Islands Trust Executive Committee. Each appointed chair joins two locally elected trustees to form the local 
trust committee for their designated island area. Local trust committees are responsible for land use planning and 
regulation within their jurisdictions. Their duties include developing and adopting official community plans, land 
use bylaws, zoning and subdivision regulations, overseeing soil removal and deposit, and issuing permits under 
Part 14 of the Local Government Act. 
 
“I am very much looking forward to chairing the Gabriola Island and Gambier Island Local Trust Committee 
meetings,” said Islands Trust Council Chair Laura Patrick. “I am eager to learn about current projects and issues 
and to get to know these communities better.” 
  
The Islands Trust Executive Committee are: 
• Chair: Trustee Laura Patrick (Salt Spring Island Local Trust Area) 
• Vice-Chair: Trustee Tobi Elliott (Gabriola Island Local Trust Area) 
• Vice-Chair: Trustee David Maude (Mayne Island Local Trust Area)
