Chair Luckham noted that the Trust Council session on archaeological sites, previously 
planned for December 8 at Trust Council, could not be held, due to unavailability of the 
participants.  
 
CAO Linda Adams introduced a briefing about the Islands Trust Adaptation Strategy, 
which suggested that the Executive Committee could schedule a Trust Council session 
on that topic on December 8, 2015. She outlined the recommendations in a letter she 
had received on November 25 from Assistant Deputy Minister Tara Faganello of the 
Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, suggesting that Council adopt 
principles and objectives for adapting to the potential incorporation of Salt Spring Island, 
preferably before the end of the year.
