4. TRUSTEES’ REPORT 
 
Trustee Busheikin reported that she attended the Denman Housing Coalition public 
meeting on affordable housing and two Denman Island Residents Association meetings, 
one of which focused on ferry issues.  She commented on a telephone conversation she 
had with Ken Albrecht of the Integrated Land Management Bureau of the Ministry of 
Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO), following up on his recent 
presentation to the Local Trust Committee.  She noted that this conversation led her to 
conclude that future conversations with FLNRO need to contain clear, specific and 
relevant arguments about the environmental impacts of shellfish aquaculture as well as 
emphasizing the Islands Trust mandate.  She reported that she will be attending the 
Department of Fisheries and Oceans Aquaculture Management Advisory meeting in 
Courtenay as an observer where they will be discussing geoduck farming guidelines. 
 
Trustee Graham commented briefly on his understanding that the Raven Coal Mine 
proponents will be submitting an application in the spring.  He noted that he has had 
many good conversations with islanders about matters of concern including ferry issues 
and affordable housing.
