Ms. Clegg remarked that her property line is in the middle of a creek, and that she had 
not been contacted regarding their visit. 
 
Kathy Leifsson, Gambier Island, commented that she had not been notified and owns 
four properties on the island. 
 
Trustee Stamford acknowledged challenges in reaching people regarding notification of 
the riparian areas surveying.  Acting Regional Planning Manager Brzozowski (ARPM 
Brzozowski) indicated there had been a mail out, and that she would follow up regarding 
Ms. Leifsson’s issue. 
 
Barbara Blewett from West Bay commented on surveying that was conducted in a lane 
behind her property, which she heard was being done to straighten out the property line. 
She had not been notified that this would be taking place. Trustee Stamford explained 
that the surveying was to do with parks and trails, and that she would contact the 
Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) Area F director and follow up with Ms. Blewett 
and Ms. Leifsson. 
 
Ms. Blewett and Ms. Leifsson inquired about Fisheries foreshore rights on Whispering 
Creek, as the creek had been moved from its original path. Trustee Rogers explained 
that the Riparian Areas Regulation (RAR) is a provincial regulation to protect areas 
around streams and from the high water mark inland following the streambed. Federal 
jurisdiction is from the high water mark outwards into the bay.
