2.1 Continuation of Electronic Meetings 
ITC-2020-022  
It was MOVED and SECONDED, 
that in accordance with Ministerial Order M192 – Local Government Meetings & Bylaw 
Process and Province of BC Bill 19 – 2020, Islands Trust Conservancy cannot conduct 
public in-person meetings at this time because the meeting venues traditionally used 
have limited access or do not meet the legislated requirements for the protection of the 
community, trustees and staff; and therefore in order to meet the principles of 
openness, transparency, and accessibility, meetings of the Islands Trust Conservancy 
Board will be held electronically over the period August 26 to October 31, 2020, will be 
live streamed, and the public invited to participate in meetings by connecting to the link
