and Riparian Areas Regulation.    
 
The Local Trust Committee (LTC) provided answers to these questions, however 
declined to comment on the topics under current litigation.  
 
Ralph McCuaig noted that there are 58 beach access points designated on Denman 
Island maps, however noted that some are on private land and inaccessible to the 
public.  He asked, as a member of the Denman Island Trails Committee, if the Islands 
Trust might be amenable to assist in the ability to create loop trails through some of 
these properties for the enjoyment of the public.

suggested potential approaches to consider in discussions with CVRD representatives 
including seeking cooperation with land owners and the addition of helpful signage.

Plan (OCP) in conversation with CVRD representatives.
