Re: Letter of Support for the Denman Seniors and Museum Society’s grant application to the New 
Horizons for Seniors Program to support infrastructure maintenance at the Denman Activity 
Centre 
 
To whom it may concern, 
 
The Denman Island Local Trust Committee (LTC) is aware that the Denman Seniors and Museum Society 
is in pursuit of funding from the New Horizons Seniors Program to facilitate floor refinishing at the Denman 
Activity  Centre. At  the  June  6,  2019 meeting  of  the  Denman  Island  LTC,  the  following  resolution  was 
passed: 
 
DE-2019-060 
It was MOVED and SECONDED, 
that  the  Denman  Island  Local  Trust  Committee  request  that  the  Chair  write  a  letter  to 
support the grant  application being made  by the Denman Seniors and Museum Society 
under the New Horizons for Seniors Program. 
CARRIED 
 
The LTC recognizes the importance of community services on Denman Island, such as those provided by 
the Denman Activity Centre. 
 
Denman Island’s Official Community Plan, the policy document that guides land use planning on  the 
island, reflects the community’s interest in supporting the social fabric and community services: 
 
Section D.1 Services, Education and Culture 
Guiding Objective  To  support  community-based  fire,  ambulance,  health  and  support  services,  to 
encourage cultural enrichment and community education facilities and services, 
and to realise the need for many diverse community activities. 
 
Objective 1 To  support  the  provision  of  emergency  services  and  educational  and  cultural 
facilities on Denman Island.

Objective 2   To support land use for community health facilities and health service provisions. 
 
Objective 3  To permit a variety of institutional uses to meet the social, educational, religious 
and other needs of the community at large. 
 
As the local government responsible for land use planning on Denman Island, the LTC strongly supports 
the work of the Denman Seniors and Museum Society and their efforts to secure funding to assist with 
infrastructure maintenance at the Activity Centre.   
 
Sincerely, 
 
 
 
Sue Ellen Fast 
Chair, Denman Island Local Trust Committee
