1. CALL TO ORDER AND WELCOME 
 
Acting Chair McCargar called the meeting to order at 1:23 pm. She acknowledged that the 
meeting was being held on the unceded territory of the K’ómoks First Nation. She introduced 
herself and recorder and invited Advisory Planning Commission (APC) members and others to 
introduce themselves. She explained that she would be acting as Chair until elections were held 
later in the meeting, at which time the newly elected Chair would take over. She reviewed the 
history of the Denman Island Farming Regulations Review Project and proposed Bylaws 228 and 
229, recently given second reading by the Local Trust Committee (LTC) and currently being 
referred to the APC, First Nations and other agencies for comment. 
 
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA 
 
By general consent, the agenda was approved. 
 
3. MINUTES 
 
3.1 Denman Island Advisory Planning Commission Draft Minutes dated June 14, 2022 
 
Member McRae objected to the wording in item 3.1 of the June 14, 2022 minutes, an 
item that referred to the previous minutes of August 14, 2020. Specifically, the phrase in 
item 3.1 ‘perhaps motion DE-APC-2020-005, was not carried’ was unnecessarily 
ambiguous given that Member McRae was actually very certain that the motion had not 
been carried.  
 
Planner McCargar noted that there was a recording of the meeting which had been 
reviewed by the Planning Team Assistant, and that it was not clear that the motion had 
not been carried.

o Member McRae noted that the recorder had been a distance away from the 
members, so perhaps the correct information had not been captured in the 
recording. 
 
By general consent, the minutes of June 14, 2022 were approved as presented.  
 
4. BUSINESS ITEMS ELECTION OF CHAIR, VICE-CHAIR AND SECRETARY 
 
Planner McCargar noted that terms for present APC members would be expiring in July 2023; 
and, that though elections for APC members were usually done at the start of the term, these 
had been deferred, but still needed to be conducted.  She explained the roles of Chair, Vice-
Chair, and Secretary. 
 
By acclamation, Edi Johnston was elected Chair; George McCrae was elected Vice-Chair; and C 
Urquhart was elected Secretary. 
 
Planner McCargar noted that recruitment for new APC members would most likely not occur 
until
