o BC Ferries and Penelakut Tribe conversation regarding the ferry 
terminal; 
o Conversations with Cowichan Valley Regional District regarding the 
government dock, which is the emergency egress point for First 
Responder teams. 
 He attended meetings of the Thetis Island Forum, a group with many local 
stakeholders sharing ideas and working together to consider matters of interest to 
Thetis Islanders. 
 He noted that the LTC meetings include a standing agenda item for the newly 
elected Electoral Area Director McClinton to provide a report.  
 A recently passed Cowichan-wide referendum for funding of a recreational planning 
project involved Thetis Island contributing to recreational centres throughout the 
Cowichan Valley. It is hoped that this can be revisited in some manner as many feel 
it is not equitable for Thetis Island as well as other smaller areas that do not 
generally have access to these recreational facilities. 
3.2 Chair's Report 
Chair Elliott reported that she is looking forward to attending future Thetis Island LTC 
meetings on the island. She mentioned that she also serves on the Islands Trust 
Conservancy and is a Local Trustee for Gabriola Island.
