Dear Chiefs and Councils: 
 
Re: Islands Trust November 6, 2018 Election Results and Committees 
 
On November 6
th
, 2018 the Islands Trust held elections for the 2018-2022 term. I wanted to write to 
provide you with the results of our election and committee appointments because I look forward to 
working with each of your Chiefs and Councils in the coming years.   
 
The Islands Trust is committed to focusing its approach for improved relations with First Nations with 
interests in the lands and waters of the Trust Area. We seek to move beyond formality to have meaningful 
interactions with First Nations that are rooted in a sincere and genuine relationship of respect; this is our 
commitment to advance Reconciliation over the coming years. 
 
On November 8
th
, 2018, I was reappointed as Chair of the Islands Trust Council from the Thetis Island Local 
Trust Area, and will begin my second term as Chair. The three new vice-chairs are: Trustee Sue Ellen Fast of 
the Bowen Island Municipality, Trustee Laura Patrick of the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Area, and Trustee 
Dan Rogers of the Gambier Island Local Trust Area. 
 
As well, the Islands Trust Council also elected Trustee Doug Fenton of the Thetis Island Local Trust Area and 
Trustee Kate-Louise Stamford of the Gambier Island Local Trust Area to serve on the Islands Trust 
Conservancy Board, a land conservancy for the islands in the Salish Sea. In the afternoon, the Executive 
Committee elected Trustee Sue Ellen Fast of the Bowen Island Municipality as its representative to the 
Islands Trust Conservancy.
