1. CALL TO ORDER 
1.1 Introductions and context for annual meeting 
Chair Stamford called the meeting to order at 1:00 pm, acknowledged that the meeting 
was being held on the territory of many Coast Salish peoples and noted it is important 
to speak to the devastating yet sadly unsurprising news that 160 undocumented and 
unmarked graves have been discovered on the grounds of the old Kuper Island 
residential school, on what is now Penelakut Island. She stated that she hopes we can 
find ways as an organization, and as part of our island communities, to acknowledge the 
effect of the ongoing trauma that the residential school system has had on our friends, 
neighbours, staff and community members who are First Nations. She stated that we 
should never become immune to these atrocious discoveries. 
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
