1. CALL TO ORDER 
Chair Fast called the meeting to order at 6:36 pm.  She acknowledged that the meeting was 
being held in the territory of the Coast Salish First Nations. 
Chair Fast announced that this was a Community Information Meeting, with a staff presentation 
and an opportunity to ask questions about Bylaw Nos. 153 and 154, and it was a “hybrid” 
meeting: in person, live streamed and recorded on Zoom. 
Chair Fast introduced Trustees, Staff and Recorder. She described the process for participation 
as a speaker in the meeting. 
Chair Fast announced that motions were made at the Local Trust Committee meeting held 
before this one; she invited Trustee Rogers to comment. 
Trustee Rogers reported he had been Trustee for this LTC for about seven years, and had not 
seen the reaction the LTC was getting with the proposed bylaws. Over the past two months he 
had spoken to a number of people and read submissions; a lot of what was driving the anxiety 
and angst was the proposal to change the waterfront setback from 7.5 to 15 metres. A motion 
to reverse that was passed at the LTC meeting earlier in the day; except for two large 
undeveloped properties in the middle of the island, the setback was moved back to 7.5 metres. 
Trustee Stamford expressed appreciation for the public responses. She noted the LTC came to 
put the proposed changes on the table because of best practices based on professional data, 
and from the Province around setbacks and sea level rise, and from First Nations around 
reconciliation.
