of Howe Sound and Lions Bay. The trustee requested staff to work on procedures 
around community information meetings on the web, something to look at for the 
future. 
 
Trustee Stamford noted that she and Trustee Hagedorn were trying to combine 
their efforts and found that working together was more effective than working 
separately. She had met with the Sunshine Coast Regional District regarding 
furthering parks strategy and the garbage collection program. She was at the 
November 15, 2012 Sunshine Coast Regional District Planning and Development 
Committee, where it was recommended to defer first reading of the Burnco 
application for rezoning of McNab Creek, and attended an Sunshine Coast Regional 
District Public Wharves Advisory Committee meeting on December 3, 2012. 
 
Trustee Stamford had met informally with members of the Future of Howe Sound 
Society. She was working with the Gambier Community Association to map how its 
linear parks and road rights-of-way could be opened up for the island. Regarding the
