4. OPENING REMARKS: 
 
Trustee Malcolmson said that there is more and more evidence showing that what 
happens on land effects what happens with fish.  Ten years ago the province gave the 
responsibility to regulate and protect fish habitat to local governments.  There are 100 
local governments that have already regulated this and we are the last to comply.  It is 
important work but it is also costly. They are committed to personalizing this bylaw to 
meet the island’s needs. Trustee Malcolmson also mentioned how pleased she is that 
there was someone from the province here to speak about this.  Gabriola has six 
development permit areas already and to be clear, she reminded the public that the 
steep slope project has been abandoned and that this meeting was only about riparian 
areas. The proposed bylaw will be going to public hearing next month. She explained 
that this meeting is to provide information so everyone understands what’s going into the 
bylaw and also to give the opportunity for the public to have his or her say. She 
encouraged everyone to get their questions out and utilize the experts that were in 
attendance. She also thanked everyone
