 This meeting has a letter in the agenda package regarding correspondence.   
 It was requested that everything be available through the LTC’s website.

o Chair Busheikin agreed that the website was intended to host all publicly available 
information and asked that phone calls be made to staff before FOI requests are made. 
o Staff responded that a piece of correspondence that is sent to all the Trustees is 
considered public unless there is a reason for it not to be made public.  If staff receive 
correspondence related to a project or an application, it appears on the website under 
that project or application, otherwise it only appears in the agenda package. 
o Staff answered a query from Trustees about correspondence received, noting that it is 
scanned and sent to Islands Trust office staff and the originals are kept on file. 
Photos of Community Information Meeting Posters 
 A member of the public noted that in the minutes of the CIM, someone made a request for 
photos of the comments recorded on the various Station Posters to be posted online.  It has 
been 5 weeks and 2 days since the meeting and they still are not available.
