TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS Graham Brazier expressed concern that the Strategic Plan adopted at the last Trust Council did not include a fully developed approach to the issue of foreshore protection even though there was significant public input on this matter and the item is a Top Priority for Denman Island. He noted that there was little change from past Strategic ADOPTED Denman Island ADOPTED 2 Local Trust Committee Minutes October 27, 2015 Plans on this topic, while another issue that he considers to be less critical, the Victoria Office Relocation Study, has been fast tracked. He hoped that there would be opportunity to address and change this at the next Trust Council. He suggested that the addition of an action item including terminology such as “develop a tool kit for protecting the foreshore” would be useful. Chair Morrison responded that the Strategic Plan has been adopted, however, it is a fluid document and can change over the course of the term. She advised that she will be asking for public feedback on the Victoria Office Relocation Study to advise of next steps. Trustees observed that the issue of foreshore protection is addressed in the Plan in broad terms, with a strategy of advocating for nearshore ecosystems and reduction of negative impacts of shellfish aquaculture and other industrial marine activities. They encouraged Mr. Brazier to share his viewpoint with the Trust Council as a whole.
