Islands Trust Object and Policy Statement Amendment Discussion 
 
Background:   Following discussions at Trust Council and amongst Trust Program. Committee members 
regarding the interpretation of the Trust Object and other matters related to amendment of the Policy 
Statement, the Islands Trust Council voted in December to request the Executive Committee to allocate 
up to a full day of discussion around the Trust Policy Statement at the March 2021 Trust Council 
meeting. 
 
To support the dedicated discussion, Trust Council voted to request the Trust Programs Committee to 
prepare questions for trustees regarding themes that have been emerging during discussion of the 
Policy Statement Amendment Project. Trust Programs Committee did request trustees to answer three 
questions (see attached):  
1. How would you define the “unique amenities” that are to be preserved and protected “for the 
benefit of the residents of the Trust Area and of British Columbia generally”? 
2. How do you feel that Islands Trust ecosystem preservation and protection policies relate to 
policies primarily about community need? 
3. Would you like to see more mandatory directive policies in the Policy Statement? If 
so, are there particular topics where you would support more specific or explicit direction to 
local trust committees/island municipalities? 
 
Trust Programs Committee also prepared a discussion paper to inform the conversations (attached).  
 
Purpose:  To provide an opportunity for trustees to discuss their interpretations of the Object of 
the Trust, the desired level of prescriptiveness for Policy Statement amendments and 
other matters related to the Policy Statement Amendment Project.
