protect over 450 islands in the Salish Sea. Created by the Province via the Islands Trust Act in 1974, the Islands
Trust plans and regulates local land use, advocates on key environmental issues, and protects land through the
Islands Trust Conservancy. The Islands Trust works closely with First Nations and other agencies to accomplish

Trust Council is the 26-member locally elected body that governs the Islands Trust, comprised of two local
trustees from each of 12 local trust areas and two municipal trustees from Bowen Island. Along with a
chairperson appointed by Trust Council, two elected trustees form a Local Trust Committee (LTC) to make land
use decisions for each local trust area. Trust Council meets quarterly to discuss and act on matters affecting the
entire Islands Trust Area, including setting the annual budget, adopting the Policy Statement, and establishing
policies that guide the delivery of planning services.
