DATE OF 
MEETING: 
July 2, 2026 
TO: Lasqueti Island Local Trust Committee 
FROM: Renée Jamurat, Regional Planning Manager 
Northern Team 
COPY: Mary Storzer, Regional Planning Manager – RPT Support 
SUBJECT: Lasqueti Major Project Update 
   
RECOMMENDATION 
1. That the Lasqueti Island Local Trust Committee support a business case for work on an 
Interests Framework with First Nations in the Lasqueti local trust area which will serve as 
pre-work to any future OCP project; 
And further that, the OCP project be placed on the Future Projects List for the incoming 
LTC to re-consider as part of their work program. 
REPORT SUMMARY 
Briefly  describe  the purpose  of  the  report (e.g.  to  rezone  from  R1  (Residential)  to  C1  (Commercial)). 
Summarize the key discussion points (ideally no more than three) supporting the recommendation. 
BACKGROUND 
The following is an update to the major project.  
 The RPT managers have reviewed projects for the current fiscal and continuation of projects for next 
fiscal year.  
 Due to constraints over the last year with the RPT resourcing to complete the projects underway, the 
RPT has been unable to initiate the LA major project work to-date.  
 Recall that the LA project started as an update in 2018, received 2
nd
 reading in 2021, and in 2022 the LTC 
paused to hear/discuss interests with Snaw-Naw-As First Nation, which has not yet occurred to-date. In 
addition the project will require an overall review and update to its scope as a major project and 
therefore a revised project charter is needed once the RPT was sufficiently resourced to initiate this 
project.  
 This project was tentatively anticipated to initiate in Fall 2025 however staff have been unable to start 
due to lack of resources.

Islands Trust Staff Report 2 
ISSUES & CONSIDERATIONS 
At this point in time, given the current resourcing and looking ahead to the next fiscal year, and 
considering the local elections with a new LTC for next fiscal year, staff raise the following issues for 
the LTC’s attention prior to initiating this project.  Outstanding issues, constraints known to staff at this 
time include:  
 Staff have not yet heard from the Nation, 
 Staff are hesitant to initiate discussions with the Nation on the project since it’s unknown when 
staff will have capacity to start work through the RPT, and whether the incoming LTC will want 
to proceed with a new project and s
